How it differs from a typical microcap IR package
Most microcap IR is sold as reach. Reach does not tell you who could own you.
| Area | Typical package | Krypton AI |
|---|---|---|
| Who hears about you | A newsletter list, a press release wire, paid placements | Named funds that own your peers, ranked by fit |
| Analysts | Whoever the firm already knows | The analysts who publish on your closest peers today |
| Figures | Your numbers restated in a fact sheet | Every figure tied to a filing or a named data set, with a date |
| What gets reported to you | Activity: releases sent, calls made | Who owns you, who is adding, and who left, each quarter |

Questions
What is microcap investor relations?
Microcap (also written micro cap) investor relations is investor relations for public companies small enough that the usual machinery does not reach them: few or no analysts, thin trading, and a shareholder register built one fund at a time. The SEC describes microcap stocks as those of companies with a market value under about $250 million to $300 million.
What does a microcap investor relations firm do?
It finds the investors who should own the company and gets management in front of them, finds the analysts most likely to cover it, prepares management for earnings calls and conferences, and reports who owns the stock and who is changing their position. At Krypton AI every figure behind that work ties to a filing or a named data set.
Who is Krypton AI for?
US public companies with a market value under $1 billion, usually where the chief executive or chief financial officer runs investor relations alongside everything else. It suits companies with few or no analysts and thin trading best.
How is it different from investor relations at a large company?
A large company has analysts who explain it to investors every quarter. A microcap usually does not, so the company has to find its own investors, reach analysts who might cover it, and give individual investors something to read. The chief financial officer often does all of it alongside the finance job.
Can Krypton AI get us analyst coverage?
Nobody can promise coverage, and we do not. We identify the analysts most likely to cover you, based on who covers your peers. We make the introductions ourselves, so no analyst who covers you today is put in an awkward position.
Does Krypton AI publish price targets or recommendations?
No. Krypton AI publishes no ratings or price targets and holds no position in a client's stock. LALC Capital, a separate company under common control, publishes independent research at kryptonai.io/research.
How long before we see results?
Meetings come first, then holders, then trading volume. Funds report their holdings within 45 days of each quarter end, so a new institutional holder can take up to four and a half months to appear in public data. Nobody can promise a holder, an analyst or a share price.
What qualifies as a micro cap stock?
The SEC's investor site says companies with a market capitalization of less than $250 million or $300 million are often called microcap stocks, and that the smallest, under $50 million, are sometimes called nanocap stocks. Investor relations for those companies is microcap investor relations.
How do you choose a microcap investor relations firm?
Ask three things. Which funds will they put you in front of, by name, and why those funds? What will they report back each quarter: activity, or who owns you, who added and who left? And is every figure they publish tied to a filing with a date? A firm that answers with a newsletter list and a press release schedule is selling distribution, not investor relations.
Is small cap investor relations different from micro cap investor relations?
Small caps are the next size up, and many already have an analyst or two and a few funds that follow them. The work is the same kind, but a microcap usually starts further back: no analyst, thin trading, and a register that has to be built fund by fund. The same approach works for both.
How does Krypton AI handle non-public information?
Most of the work runs on the public record. Anything a company shares with us stays locked to that company, and nothing reaches the company or anyone else without a person reviewing it first. The security page has the detail.
