Singapore / Asia, 23 January 2026 — Asia Investor Relations (AIR) today announced its official launch as an investor relations and capital markets advisory platform, with a mission to connect high-growth Asian companies with global investors and US public markets.

Founded to address the increasing demand for structured, transparent, and strategic investor engagement, AIR provides end-to-end investor relations support across the pre-IPO, IPO, and post-listing lifecycle, with a strong focus on companies preparing for US public listings.

AIR works closely with founders, boards, and management teams to help them articulate a compelling equity story, build institutional credibility, and engage global investors through disciplined communications and capital markets expertise.

“Asia is home to some of the world’s most promising growth companies, yet many struggle to navigate global capital markets effectively,” said Dr. Charlie In, Founder of Raffles Capital and shareholder of AIR. “AIR was created to bridge that gap — helping companies prepare for public markets while giving investors access to well-governed, high-quality opportunities.”

AIR collaborates with established capital markets firms and industry partners to provide issuers with a comprehensive pathway to listing, combining strategic communications, investor outreach, and market education.

“Effective investor relations plays a critical role in valuation, liquidity, and long-term shareholder alignment,” said Dr. Marcuz Tan, CEO of Boustead APEX, Inc. “AIR’s platform fills an important gap for companies navigating cross-border listings into US markets.”
