Alliance Advisors is a respected proxy-solicitation and IR firm — built for large-cap mandates with matching price tags. AxonIR is automated IR software designed for sub-$1B public companies: transparent pricing, no annual contract, AI-native from day one.
Alliance Advisors built its reputation on proxy solicitation: a high-touch, episodic service that activates around shareholder votes and then goes quiet. For companies under $1B, paying a full IR retainer for coverage that concentrates in one quarter is a poor return on spend.
AxonIR is software that runs continuously — scoring your SEC filings for algorithmic readability before you file, monitoring nine signal sources around your ticker 24/7, and surfacing short-seller and activist signals weeks before they become visible in the market.
You still need human judgment for contested proxy campaigns. But for the 50 weeks a year when nothing extraordinary is happening, AxonIR gives your CFO institutional-grade intelligence at a fraction of a retainer cost — with no annual lock-in.
