// About us

From a two-person desk to 600 public companies

Gateway opened in 1999 with two people and one idea: a business is worth what the market understands of it. Twenty-five years later the same partners still sit on the accounts — from the first positioning session through to the fourth earnings call.

// About us

Advising public companies
since 1999

Gateway was founded in 1999 on a simple belief: investor communications work best when they’re grounded in a deep understanding of the business. We still work that way, as true partners who take the time to learn each client’s strategy, operations and long-term goals. Our capabilities have grown since then, but that approach hasn’t changed.

Traditional agencies vsthe Gateway approach

Communications is changing fast. Attention is shorter, coverage is harder to earn and boards want outcomes — not activity reports.

What exactly does Gateway do?

Investor relations, public relations, social media management, and the creative services to support them — all run by our teams of experts.

Do you work with private companies, or only listed ones?

Both. We work with private and public companies, as well as any company going through a growth transaction. Ideally, companies bring us on well before a public listing, while the story is still being shaped.

What if I’m not sure which services I need?

Contact us to discuss your goals and explore how Gateway can meet your company’s unique needs.

Do you have a specific industry you specialize in?

From private growth companies to leading public enterprises, we work with dynamic businesses across all major industries. From clean tech and energy companies, to defense, mining, AI, blockchain, and more, Gateway has helped over 500 global micro and small companies raise their equity profile and unlock brand value.

Can we engage Gateway for a single service?

Yes. Many clients start with one service, such as investor relations, public relations, or creative, and add others as the need appears. The story stays the same across all of them.

Do you support IPOs, SPACs and transactions?

Yes. Our advisory services cover going public, mergers and acquisitions, and crisis situations, alongside the ongoing investor relations and public relations work.

Who will actually be on the account?

The partner you meet in the intro call. Gateway is senior-led: the people who win the work are the people who do it.

How are you paid?

A fixed monthly fee against a written scope. No hourly billing and no surprise line items.

If I engage with Gateway, will I get passed on to a junior team member?

We pride ourselves on the high-touch nature of our client engagements. Senior team members are involved in every engagement and are always available to clients. In addition, the junior team members that support individual accounts are all trained in the specific vertical in which your company operates.

What does your standard onboarding process look like?

We have a comprehensive onboarding process tailored to the needs of each client and the service offerings they pursue. Our diligent process of integrating new clients ensures a strong and productive working relationship.

What are your pricing options?

Please contact us directly to get a better understanding of pricing options. Upon review of your business and needs, we can provide a detailed scope of work and pricing structure.

How do you measure the success of investor relations or public relations campaigns?

We measure success by defining and executing specific strategic goals laddering up to our client’s unique overall objectives.

How often will we hear from you?

Communication is set on an agreed upon cadence from the start. We’ll hold regular calls with the senior team, plus provide reporting on activity and outcomes, so you always know what was done and what comes next.
