23 Years
of IR Innovation
Digital IR launched in 2000 as B2i, for “business to investors”. It was founded by a Wall Street Analyst who witnessed, first-hand, the missed connections between Investor Relations and its investor base.
A better approach
He joined forces with an experienced software engineer and software patent holder and they set out to create an open digital communications channel that would enable continuous connections between a company and its investors. From the start, the company determined to do things differently. The industry norm was to create separate IR websites under sub-domains, using standardized software packages—a costly and inflexible approach.
B2i developed an innovative SaaS platform that enabled them to deliver a cost-effective and flexible response that provides Data anywhere, permits companies to license what they need, and allows them to integrate their corporate and IR presence in one domain.
Moving the industry forward
As the company grew, it responded to the evolving needs of its clients and began offering design, hosting and management of websites, as well as a full suite of IR communications services such as webcasts, emails and conference calls. Today it continues to develop comprehensive solutions for open and operational channels of communications between companies and their investor base.
Digital IR reflects its evolution into a full-service digital investor relations agency that operates with an open approach to client engagement.
