Our take
The recent spring of companies going public via IPO or SPAC has provided great business for Q4 which is looking to upgrade the way public companies compete for capital.
Where companies previously relied on in-house teams or expensive consultants to build clunky investor relations platforms, Q4 is providing software that delivers quality capital markets communications on a low-cost cloud platform.
The company is now looking to expand into other parts of the investor relations market. For example, Q4 will be integrating a new events feature, providing Virtual Investor Day solutions as part of a unified platform.
Q4 will hope that the positive synergies between their various products will ensure that customers trust them to deliver an edge in the competitive capital market space where traditional players have delivered for decades.
