Financial Analysis Excellence Since 2018
Transforming how Australian professionals approach financial data and investment decisions
We started velmoraqen because traditional finance education wasn't keeping pace with real market demands. Our founders, both former investment analysts, recognized that professionals needed practical skills that actually translate to better decision-making in volatile markets.
Built from Real Market Experience
Back in 2018, our co-founder Sarah was struggling to find training that matched the complexity of modern Australian markets. Most programs focused on outdated models while real portfolios were shifting toward data-driven strategies and algorithmic support.
We launched velmoraqen in Orange, NSW, specifically to bridge this gap. Our approach combines traditional financial principles with contemporary analysis tools that professionals actually use in their daily work.
What makes us different? We design our curriculum around real case studies from Australian markets. Students work with actual data from ASX companies, property markets, and resource sectors that define our economy.
