“Oh, that’s an interesting model”
About Blazer Strategies
At Blazer Strategies, we know what it’s like to build something from the ground up—because we’ve done it ourselves. Every person on our team is a founder or small business owner. We’ve started companies on tight budgets, bootstrapped them into growth, and made the tough calls that come with running something you care about deeply. We work with other founders, small businesses, and nonprofits who want to grow without losing what makes them unique. We understand the challenges, the sleepless nights, and the drive to make an impact in your community.
Our name, Blazer, comes from the mascot of Gardner Edgerton High School, our hometown. It reminds us of where we started and keeps our work rooted in local community—because supporting founders and businesses in our own neighborhoods is at the heart of what we do.
Our Mission
We help organizations grow with speed and purpose. Our goal is to create better-paying jobs, strengthen communities, and make sure the work you’ve built can thrive for years to come.
Our Core Values
It’s Bigger Than Business
Your work should leave a lasting mark—more jobs, stronger communities, and real impact beyond profits.
People Are People
Every business is made up of real people with real lives. We put people first—clients, contractors, and our own team.
Outcomes Over Outputs
We measure success by results, not by how many hours are spent. What matters is the change you can see.
Set the Standard
We work with organizations that aren’t afraid to lead. We raise the bar and help lift others along the way.
How We Work
We build a custom team for every project—pulling in the right mix of skills to fit your needs and your budget. Our roster includes experts in design, marketing, web development, writing, operations, finance, and more. Whether you need a short-term project or ongoing support, we keep things flexible. And because we’ve built our own businesses, we focus on what works in the real world—not on adding extra layers of cost or complexity.
Why Founders Work With Us
We speak the same language as the people we serve. We’ve built through lean times, grown through trial and error, and care about more than just profit—we care about leaving your business and your community better than we found them. If you want to grow with purpose, protect what makes your business special, and keep people at the center of your work, we’d love to talk. Let’s create velocity for your growth.
