We inverted the cost structure. Agents do the production — drafting, formatting, distribution, monitoring — at scale and around the clock. People do only the part that requires a person: direction, judgment, relationships, sign-off. Required disclosure (TSXV Policy 3.4 / Form 3C, SEC §17(b)) is written into every asset in code, not remembered at six in the evening.
- No word limits, no surprise line items — wire distribution billed per release at a published rate
- A qualified human signs every deliverable before it publishes
- Faster turnaround, wider syndication of your approved content
And our pricing is on the website. Every firm we compete with makes you book a call to find out what they charge. That should tell you which of us is comfortable being compared. See the plans →
Mark Solomon Founder, 9GG LLC · CMO, FoundryIR
Bought his first stock at twelve; in markets ever since. An engineer by training who formerly held the Series 7 and Series 3 registrations, specialising in commodity trading and alternative investments.
The other half he learned running marketing for operating companies — directing six-figure advertising and PR campaigns. Stripped of jargon, that is what IR is: explaining a company to an audience that has to decide something. An engineer who has traded commodities can read the technical document; someone who has run communications knows what an audience needs to hear. Most IR shops have one of those. A lot have neither.
Mark Solomon formerly held the FINRA Series 7 and Series 3 registrations. Those registrations are not currently active, he is not a registered representative, and FoundryIR is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser or exempt market dealer. Nothing on this site is investment advice.
Liz Stubbs Media & Communications
A television producer and media manager with three decades directing media presence across CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX and the other major networks, for Fortune 500 clients. She leads FoundryIR’s broadcast and earned-media work: how a company gets on camera, and how a story survives contact with a producer who has thirty seconds to decide whether to care.
Earned media is where most small-cap IR quietly gives up. It is also the difference between a release that lands in a vacuum and one that gets picked up.
Liz Stubbs’s practice is media and communications. She is not a securities professional and provides no securities, legal or compliance advice.
A senior review core. Specialists per engagement. Agents for production.
Securities-experienced reviewers, technical editors, content and video producers — assigned to your engagement when your company actually needs them, never carried as overhead you pay for anyway. Every artifact is approved by a qualified reviewer before it publishes; specialists never publish on their own authority, and neither do the agents.
What we are not: FoundryIR does not provide legal or compliance advice and does not act as your counsel. Anything filed or issued in your name is approved by you and your own lawyers. An IR firm that told you otherwise would be selling you a risk, not a service.
- No performance comp. Fees are never tied to share price or trading volume. Our incentive is renewal, which only happens if the work is good.
- Everything disclosed. Canadian listed-issuer engagements are announced and filed (TSXV Policy 3.4 / Form 3C). Paid content carries attribution on every channel, in every jurisdiction.
- Human sign-off on every artifact. Agents draft; accountable people approve. Nothing publishes on autopilot.
- Investor relations, not stock promotion. We make companies understandable and reachable. We do not tout, predict prices, or manufacture excitement.
Resource issuers
Explorers, developers and producers on the TSXV, CSE and TSX. Drill results, resource estimates and studies translated into materials generalist investors can act on — with the technical literacy to get the details right.
Technology issuers
Small-cap listed tech on either side of the border. Product claims communicated precisely, roadmaps made credible, and a story that survives contact with a skeptical analyst.
