Good small companies go unowned for reasons, not by accident.
An institutional investor looking at a micro or small-cap spends the first hour searching for a reason to stop reading. Kindling is being built around that hour — helping companies find and fix what ends the conversation, and putting the ones that clear the bar in front of investors who actually work in the space.
Opening to a first group of companies and investors shortly.
Find out how you read
We score your company on the eight dimensions a serious small-cap investor works through — management and governance, financial quality, the balance sheet, moat, risk, your equity story, disclosure, and how discoverable you are. The first scorecard is built from your filings and market data and costs nothing.
Most companies find at least one thing in it they did not know was a problem. That is the point: you would rather hear it from us than not hear it at all, which is what happens now.
Companies that have already been through it
Every company on Fire has been assessed against the same rubric and cleared it, with the work already done: research coverage, filings, materials, and management who have agreed to engage rather than merely be looked at.
Invitation-only on the investor side, and not free of obligation — we expect structured feedback to go back to the company, whether or not you invest. That loop is the product as much as the screening is.
