Fractional IRO Services
Not an agency. Not a junior hire. Senior investor relations practitioners, with in-house public company experience, serving as your IRO at the engagement level your company actually needs.
The Model
Fractional IR is not outsourced communications. It is embedded, executive-level capital markets leadership with the same caliber of expertise that large-cap issuers build in-house, delivered on a flexible engagement model.
Your fractional IRO attends your earnings prep, joins investor calls, works with your CFO and CEO, and owns the market-facing narrative. They operate inside your company, not from the outside.
The difference: you access that expertise without permanent overhead and you scale the engagement up or down as your needs evolve.
The Advantage
Is This Right for You?
Fractional IR is not for every company. It is precisely right for companies at inflection points, where the stakes are high and the IR program hasn't kept pace.
Mid-market public companies large enough to need senior IR, small enough that a $500K IRO salary creates real tension on the P&L.
The IR infrastructure you build in the first year of public life shapes how institutions perceive you for years. Build it right from the start.
When the disconnect between your fundamentals and your multiple isn't explained by the business, it's explained by investor perception.
Equity, debt, or convertible each requires targeted IR preparation. The 90 days before you go to market are the most consequential IR window you have.
Your CFO should be running the finance function. When investor relations competes with that, both suffer. Fractional IR resolves the conflict.
Repositioning the narrative including a new segment, a new model or a new geography, requires sustained, senior IR engagement to close the perception lag.
