Our approach to investor relations is somewhat unconventional and informed by conversations with some of the brightest minds in the investing world.

Investor Relations

Many companies approach investor relations from the perspective of the story they want to tell or the conventions followed by their peers.

We begin from the premise that all communications should be driven by the preferences of those with capital to allocate, from institutional investors managing billions to the main street investor seeking an edge for his or her retirement. We work to understand how we can communicate critical data points most efficiently. How do we make a complex business into a cohesive narrative that is easy to grasp? How do we accommodate users who want bullet points and those who want to take a deep dive?

Every investment story is unique and your communications should be true to your own DNA and stand apart in the marketplace of investment ideas.

We believe:

  • There is no rule that earnings calls must be tedious

  • Shorter really is sweeter

  • Most humans process data visually more efficiently that aurally

  • Management must own the confidence of 80% of your fundamentals-based shareholders

  • Activists are at once a menace and a source of potentially amazing ideas

  • You should treat every interaction with short-sellers like a CAT scan

  • Optimism is essential to vision, but of no value without execution

  • The ideal investor meeting is 20% packaged information and 80% dialogue

  • Given that we live in an algorithmic world, never neglect the bots
