A micro-cap issuer can’t hire a dozen IR specialists — and shouldn’t have to. One FoundryIR engagement fills every one of those roles for small- and micro-cap issuers on the TSXV, CSE, TSX, OTC, Nasdaq and NYSE American (incl. Reg A / A+). One monthly retainer for the IR work — wire distribution billed per release at a published rate.
One FoundryIR engagement fills every one of these roles — a dozen specialists you would otherwise hire — under a single fee, with a qualified human approving everything before it goes out.
Add-ons extend the team further: π social-channel setup (we create and connect your X, LinkedIn, Telegram, StockTwits, YouTube and forum accounts) and π managed posting (we schedule and post on your connected channels). Every role above is a real FoundryIR capability, human-reviewed before it publishes.

A filing lands at 9am. Watch where the pause is — that pause is the entire firm.
A resource issuer has to explain assays, resource estimates and technical studies to generalist investors who will never open a 43-101. A technology or life-science issuer has the same problem with trial data, pilot results and product benchmarks. Both do it inside securities rules that punish enthusiasm. FoundryIR’s technical specialists have a wide range of experience, from understanding mining processes to high technology. Speed is the machine’s job. Judgment is not, and never will be.
Avery, our AI client-response agent, is fully briefed on your specifics — your filings, your technical documents, your approved messaging — so you get answers relevant to your situation, 24/7. What she cannot answer from your own record, she does not guess at: she escalates it to your FoundryIR lead.
Agencies quote 24β48 business hours. Your news goes out today β most items in under four hours, including after-hours and weekends on material events. The market moves in hours. So do we.
Avery runs continuously: answering your questions, drafting releases, recording video updates on every material event. Traditional firms meter you 30–50 billable hours a month and invoice overtime. We bill zero hours — because we don't count them. Avery answers only from your own record and your public disclosure — anything outside it is not answered, it is routed to a person. Every artifact she drafts is approved by a human before it publishes.
Agents do the production β drafting, formatting, monitoring, fan-out. Qualified people do the part that requires judgment: what to say, whether to say it, and whether it is compliant. A qualified human reviews every deliverable before it is released. That never switches off, and it is not a setting you or we can change. Who reviews it β
Some issuers want to sign off on every single item. Others, once they have seen the review process work for a month, would rather not be the bottleneck on their own news. So it is your call, and you can change it at any time. Approve each deliverable yourself, or let our qualified review be the final word and simply watch it land in your dashboard. See how it works β
Live dashboard: releases shipped, impressions by channel, investor questions answered, retail sentiment, peer performance, institutional targets. Plus a direct channel β Avery, briefed on your file and answering in your Studio, escalating to your senior FoundryIR lead the moment something needs a person. Not a ticket queue.

Bands are segment averages compiled from published rate guides, benchmark surveys and IR-consulting agreements filed on SEC EDGAR. We do not name individual firms: their scopes differ from ours, and a price quoted beside a competitor's name is only fair if the scope behind it is identical. Compare the band, then compare the scope. FoundryIR tiers land 30β55% below the equivalent band. We guarantee the work within our control β your activity, deliverables, turnaround speed, syndication of your approved content, and the content itself: the releases, posts, videos and responses you are paying for β and we report every one of them. We cannot and do not guarantee reach or share-price impact: not impressions, not share price, not volume, not analyst coverage, not institutional investment. Reach and share impact depend on platforms, markets and audiences we do not control. Anyone who guarantees those is a promoter, not an IR firm.
Avery works for you, inside your Studio. She is briefed on your filings, technical reports and approved messaging — not on IR in general, but on your company — and she is on shift every hour of every day. Ask her what your catalysts are, what a release should say, what your last quarter left unanswered. She drafts your releases, records video updates on every material event, and escalates anything she cannot answer from your own record to your human IR lead.
Avery is client-facing. She answers you, not your shareholders. An investor-facing Avery on your own IR site is a separate capability — we are building it, it will be opt-in, and we will not sell it to you before it exists.

Every client gets a real-time client portal. No month-end PDF, no "we'll get you a summary." Log in at any hour and see exactly what you're paying for. These are the metrics it tracks:
Eight surfaces, one login. Everything below is live in the portal — not a roadmap.
This is a sample dashboard and not a guarantee of performance. The figures shown are illustrative. The volume figures (releases, video updates, newsletters, channels) are what each tier commits to and are contractual; the engagement figures depend on your story, your market and your news flow, and no IR firm can promise them. Your tiles fill with your own numbers from your first week in the client portal.
The content engine runs end to end without a queue: news breaks β Avery drafts the release β disclosure check, then review and sign-off by a qualified FoundryIR reviewer (and your own counsel, who approves anything that is filed) β wire distribution (GlobeNewswire / Newsfile) β Avery records the video update β simultaneous fan-out to X, LinkedIn, StockTwits, Telegram, your investor email list, your IR site newsroom, and Avery's live Q&A knowledge base β per-channel analytics land in your dashboard the same day.
Journalists and podcast hosts are hunting for expert sources every day. We monitor the press-query and podcast-guest marketplaces across dozens of industry channels, curate the queries that fit your sector, draft the response for your approval, and book the CEO interviews. Your credibility builds in the financial press and on the podcasts your shareholders listen to, while you stay focused on the business.
