Investor Relations and Engagement

Investor relations isn’t just about reporting numbers. It’s about building trust, telling your story, and showing investors why your business represents a compelling opportunity. At Founders Comms, we design investor relations strategies that connect commercial performance with vision, giving investors the confidence to back your next stage of growth.

As a London-based partner in investor engagement, we help founders and leadership teams refine their messaging, manage investor communications, and prepare for the critical moments – from fundraising rounds to IPOs and exits.

Investor relations and engagement support:

Media Outreach & Relationship Building

Identify and connect with journalists, editors, and influencers who shape your sector’s narrative, building relationships that generate ongoing coverage opportunities.

Media Enquiries & Press Office Management

Manage inbound press requests with speed and accuracy, ensuring consistent, on-message responses that protect your reputation and strengthen media relationships.

Earned Media Strategy & Press Campaigns

Develop story angles and campaign plans to secure meaningful coverage in targeted outlets, amplifying your brand’s credibility, visibility and authority within your industry.

Own Channel Strategy

Align your website, newsletters, and social platforms with your broader media strategy. Ensure consistent, on-brand messaging across every touchpoint, so all communications work together to strengthen your profile.

Media Training Services

Equip spokespeople with the skills, confidence, and composure to deliver clear, consistent messages, handle challenging questions and maintain control under real-world media pressure – ensuring your brand is always well-represented.

Media Training

A great story falls flat if the delivery wobbles. Our media training services prepare founders, executives, and key team members to represent your brand with clarity, authority, and composure — whether it’s a friendly feature interview or a challenging line of questioning.

As a hands-on media training agency, we tailor every session to your business, sector, and media landscape. We cover:

Understanding how journalists work and what they need for stories.

Refining your key messages so they land in a concise, memorable way.

Handling difficult or unexpected questions without losing control of the conversation.

Developing presence, tone, and body language for on-camera and in-person appearances.

Scenario-based exercises that replicate real interview conditions, giving you the chance to practise under pressure.

Investor relations for every stage of growth

Your approach to investors should evolve with your business – from establishing credibility during early funding rounds to managing the scrutiny of later-stages.

Pre-Seed / SEED

Launch & Market Entry

Establish a clear, credible investment case, pitch deck and presentation style. Share your mission, team, and early traction clearly with angel and seed investors.

Series A-B

Traction & Momentum

Refine your investor engagement strategy. Highlight product-market fit, customer results, and commercial progress while managing growing investor expectations.

Series B+ / Expansion

Scaling & Category Leadership

Adopt a structured investor relations strategy with regular updates and milestone-driven communications. Position your company as a category leader with clear growth potential.

Pre-IPO / M&A

Growth, Exit & IPO-Ready

Operate with public-company discipline. Align investor communications with financial reporting, prepare leadership for roadshows, and reinforce credibility ahead of exit or IPO.

Pitch Deck Training

A compelling investment case can be weakened by poor delivery. Our pitch deck training prepares founders and pitch teams to present with confidence, clarity, and authority.

We focus on refining key messages, simplifying complex data into compelling narratives, and handling tough investor questions. Scenario-based exercises replicate real pitch conditions, equipping you with practical tools and the confidence to perform under pressure.

Reputation Management

Visibility brings opportunity – but also scrutiny. We help you prepare for and navigate challenges without losing stakeholder trust. From managing negative coverage to handling sensitive issues, we ensure you stay in control of the narrative.
