WHO WE ARE
The IR Studio
The IR Studio is a specialized firm dedicated to building and scaling investor relations functions for companies preparing for IPOs, spin-offs, and transformative corporate events.
We’re not just advisors, we’re builders. Unlike traditional IR consultants, we don’t just recommend strategies; we implement them, establishing the infrastructure, processes, and narratives that drive public market success.
With deep capital markets expertise, we craft tailored IR strategies that enhance credibility, maximize shareholder value, and drive long-term success.
The firm is led by Zaia Lawandow, Founder and CEO.


OUR STORY
History of the firm
The IR Studio was founded to fill a critical gap in investor relations. While many IROs excel at managing established IR functions, few specialize in building them from the ground up, particularly before high-stakes events like public listings, when getting it right matters most.
With firsthand experience navigating IPOs, spin-offs, and other complex corporate situations, including M&A, activist campaigns, and pre-bankruptcy restructuring and workouts, we recognized the necessity for a partner capable of both advising and building scalable systems tailored to each company’s unique story and objectives.
The IR Studio was founded on this vision, with a commitment to hands-on execution and building lasting value for our clients.
