Pre-Listing
You haven't listed yet. But the market is already talking.
The moment your prospectus is public and your company name is in the market, conversations start. Quarterback lets you monitor what's being said about your company before you list — so day one isn't the first time you find out.
Pre-Listing Intelligence
Monitor market conversations about your company from prospectus publication through to listing day.
Most companies spend months preparing for a listing — the prospectus, the roadshow, the investor briefings. What they don't have is any visibility into what the market is actually saying about them during that process. Is the sentiment positive or negative? What are investors saying on forums after your roadshow? Are there rumours forming that you haven't heard about? From the moment your name is public, Quarterback is watching.
Know how your roadshow is landing.
Your roadshow generates market commentary — investor reactions, media coverage, forum discussion. Quarterback captures all of it in real time so you can see how each presentation and briefing is being received.
Australian Financial Review
Strong investor turnout for the Sydney leg of the roadshow, with management fielding questions on margin guidance and FY27 capex.
Investor Forum
Went to the roadshow presentation this morning. Management seemed confident but light on detail around the revenue ramp. Waiting to see the prospectus numbers.
Twitter / X
Interesting pitch from the upcoming IPO. Valuation feels stretched vs peers but the growth story is compelling if they can execute.
Stockhead
New listing preview: management targeting $40M raise at $1.20/share. Bookbuild expected to close this Friday.
Coverage tracking
Every mention of your company across financial media, forums, and social — captured from the moment your name goes public. See what's being written and said about your upcoming listing.

Find out about problems before they become problems.
The pre-listing period is when rumours start. Speculative language, inaccurate claims, coordinated negative commentary — Quarterback's AI identifies these patterns automatically.
Heard from a mate in the industry that the IPO is struggling to fill the book. Apparently the valuation is way too rich and instos are pushing back hard...
