What NGNY does

NGNY (Ngakkan Nyaagu Pty Limited) is a 100% Aboriginal-owned Australian digital services agency founded in mid-2014 by co-founders Liam Ridgeway (Gumbaynggirr and Wakka Wakka) and John Saulo (Gunditjmara and Wemba Wemba). Headquartered in Ultimo, Sydney, the firm delivers web development, mobile application development, graphic design, branding, e-commerce, hosting, and cloud solutions primarily to Australian federal and state government departments, Indigenous organisations, corporate Australia, and selected not-for-profit, education, and healthcare clients. NGNY holds Supply Nation certification (since 2015), B Corporation certification (since 2018), and NSWICC Assured Business status (since 2018), positioning the company as one of a small number of Indigenous-owned Certified B Corporations in Australia and as a qualified supplier under the federal Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP).

The service portfolio spans core digital agency offerings plus dedicated hosting infrastructure (NGNY Hosting sub-brand) and cloud solutions delivered through a 2020 partnership with iland, a long-established global cloud services provider. The technology stack relies on standard web development frameworks rather than proprietary platforms; product differentiation is anchored in cultural capability, Indigenous data sovereignty awareness, and domain specialisation rather than technical novelty. The broader NGNY ecosystem extends to First Nations Apparel (custom apparel manufacturing), Buledya (an advocacy and economic participation partnership), and the Buy-Indigenous initiative, broadening the company's surface area beyond pure digital services.

NGNY operates a professional services revenue model with project-based, quote-driven pricing. Publicly observable hiring signals indicate day rates of AUD $350-$500 for contract Client Partner roles and full-time Producer compensation of AUD $85,000-$95,000 inclusive of superannuation, consistent with a small team executing discrete engagements. Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused, relying on direct engagement through Supply Nation's Indigenous Business Direct, the NSW Aboriginal Business Portal, and industry events such as Supply Nation Connect, supplemented by content marketing and a published case-study portfolio. The firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding or institutional investors; the company's founding capital was a single AUD $300 contract, and there are no known acquisitions, subsidiaries, or parent-company relationships.
