Question 1

What does AxonIR do?

Accepted Answer

AxonIR is an AI-native investor relations firm for NYSE and NASDAQ micro/small-cap companies. We use NLP to score every SEC filing (8-K, 10-Q, 10-K) for algorithmic readability, optimize press releases for the 2,000+ signals algo traders monitor, track social sentiment across Reddit, StockTwits, X, and Seeking Alpha, and broadcast company data to Benzinga Pro, Nasdaq Data Link, and other algo feeds.

Question 2

How much does AxonIR cost?

Accepted Answer

AxonIR pricing ranges from $750/month (Launch tier for companies new to IR) to $4,000/month (Enterprise tier). A one-time $5,000 setup fee covers baseline audit, EDGAR integration, and dashboard configuration. That is 70â€“90% cheaper than traditional IR firms like Gateway Group ($10K+), ICR ($8Kâ€“$20K), or KCSA ($7Kâ€“$15K), while offering AI capabilities they cannot match.

Question 3

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

Accepted Answer

No long-term commitment. After the initial setup fee and first monthly charge, AxonIR is month-to-month. You can cancel anytime with 30 days notice. Credit card is billed monthly in advance.

Question 4

How is AxonIR different from traditional IR firms?

Accepted Answer

Traditional IR firms (Gateway, ICR, KCSA, Crescendo, MZ Group) do human-only review of filings, manual press release writing, and relationship-based investor targeting. AxonIR adds AI-native capabilities they cannot match at any price: automated NLP filing scoring, real-time algo signal monitoring, short-seller early warning, activist threat prediction, social sentiment NLP, and signal broadcasting to algo feeds.

Question 5

What is an algorithmic IR score?

Accepted Answer

An algorithmic IR score (0-100) measures how well an SEC filing or press release communicates with the 70% of market volume that is algorithmic. It scores across 6 dimensions: readability (Fog index), litigious language density, sentence complexity, sentiment polarity, forward-looking language, and entity recognition. Higher scores correlate with positive algo signals and buy triggers.

Question 6

What companies does AxonIR serve?

Accepted Answer

AxonIR specializes in public companies listed on NYSE and NASDAQ with market capitalizations between $10M and $500M (nano/micro/small-cap). We do not serve private companies or pre-IPO startups. Industries include life sciences, technology, SaaS, industrials, and consumer goods.

Gateway Investor Relations costs $120K+/year. AxonIR delivers more for $9K–$48K.
