Blueshirt has been selected by more technology-related IPOs than any other IR firm over the last 10 years. While an IPO is one of the most significant events marking a company's progress, it's important to think about an IPO not as a "finish line," but rather the starting point of life as a public company. We work hand-in-hand with leading investment banks, law firms and presentation trainers during the IPO process. Every IPO is unique, and we create unique IPO investor relations programs for each client based on factors including the underwriting team, management's public company experience, and the current market dynamics of the company's sector.

We strongly advocate that companies develop their investor relations strategies long before filing their IPO. Blueshirt's IPO services include:

• Investment bank/sell-side analyst recommendations
• Road show slide development
• Presentation and Q&A preparation
• "Pricing day" business press considerations
• IR web site coordination
• Implementing shareholder communication systems
• Employee communications and spokesperson guidelines
• Conducting "Disclosure 101" programs for senior staff
• Creating post-IPO sell-side, buy-side target lists
• Preparation for first earnings release and conference call
