Supporting Private Companies in Investor Relations
Investor Relations (IR) Strategies for Private Companies
In this episode, the discussion centers around the role of Investor Relations (IR) in supporting private companies. The conversation covers how private companies can benefit from IR support similar to public companies, including preparing presentations, finding the right audience such as private equity or venture capital firms, and strategizing for an eventual exit.
It elaborates on setting up internal IR systems, selecting vendors, ensuring IPO day coverage, and establishing internal communication teams. The episode also touches on developing competitive positioning, benchmarks, and metrics to build a robust investment case.
