About

Board advisor and professional intermediary with C-level expertise in investment banking, investor relations, corporate development, corporate governance, and self-listings; specializing in private investments in public equities (PIPEs), reverse mergers, and M&A. Innovated a proactive alternative solution to investor relations, ProAltIR™ to compress deal cycles, create enterprise value, grow valuation multiples, and monetize shareholder returns through competing liquidity options within the private capital market, industry value chains, and equity capital markets.

We are thought leaders in private placements, enterprise value creation, acquisitions of US listings, and customizing valuation multiples.

A ProActive Alternative to Investor Relations (ProAltIR™)

Traditional equity capital market type Investor Relations are the only services capable of driving investor expectations to expand valuation multiples. Unfortunately, they cannot create their client’s value, only a narrative …

So, ProAltIR™ targets financial and strategic investors through continuous full-scope corporate development campaigns run over an integrated and interactive multichannel investor relations platform.

ProAltIR™ creates value beyond the one-off acquisitions of buy-and-build strategies by originating strategic distribution alliances to generate inorganic revenues, product/service partnerships to grow gross margins, and institutional private placement investments to fund expansion.

We create the value, craft the growth narrative, position brands to build audiences, and engage investors through Deal Cycle Brand Development™ opportunities.

ProAltIR™ Cost-Efficiency

The unlimited capacity and power of the ProAltIR™ solution has no peers yet is extremely affordable. We seek consideration for our value creation through equity participation, private placement success fees, and inorganic revenue commissions, which also makes ProAltIR™ the most cost-efficient enterprise value creation solution available.

Scaling the ProAltIR™ solution through integrated clusters of retained Internet, social media, and email service providers is the only hard cost for clients. When listed, level II trading services and data are also recommended. The total of these costs is equivalent to the monthly retainer for investor relations services for listed issuers.

* Self-listing fees are negotiated separately
