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.

How much does AxonIR cost?

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.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

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.

How is AxonIR different from traditional IR firms?

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.

What is an algorithmic IR score?

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.

What companies does AxonIR serve?

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.

AxonIR â€” AI Investor Relations for NYSE & NASDAQ Micro/Small-Caps

Retail investors moved markets in 2021. Three years later, most public company executives still treat social platforms as noise. That's a strategic error.

The data is clear: retail sentiment on platforms like Reddit's r/stocks, X, and StockTwits now precedes institutional positioning in micro and small-cap names by an average of 3–7 trading days. When retail flows into a ticker, liquidity improves. When liquidity improves, algorithms score your stock higher. When algo scores rise, institutional desks notice.

Why These Platforms Matter for Sub-$500M Companies

Large-caps have analyst coverage, financial media relationships, and institutional roadshow budgets. You don't. Retail investors are often your most accessible path to liquidity improvement — and liquidity is the single biggest filter institutional investors apply.

•Reddit: r/stocks, r/investing, r/pennystocks drive real volume. A well-timed AMA can move daily volume 3x–5x.
•X/Twitter: Institutional PMs actively monitor FinTwit. Executive presence creates soft discovery.
•StockTwits: Heavily indexed by retail sentiment tools. Positive momentum shows up in quant desk feeds.

Engagement Strategies

What works: - Executives posting authentic, non-promotional industry commentary - Responding to legitimate questions with factual, SEC-compliant answers - Timing social presence around earnings and material announcements

What backfires: - Promotional language retail investors can spot and will call out - Ignoring negative sentiment rather than addressing concerns - Paying for mentions without disclosure — SEC enforcement is real

The Compliance Line

All investor-facing communication must comply with Regulation FD and SEC disclosure rules. The goal is presence and education, not promotion.
