Now, onto another spotlight—replays of MS Microcap’s second installment of The Starting 5 Virtual Conference held on November, 13, 2024 and hosted by MS Cliff Notes. So, we’ll get right into the videos which include bios, strategies and pitches of all the event’s participants.
The biggest hurdle for early-stage growth companies, from an investment perspective, isn’t simply determining whether they have a good business model. It’s assessing whether they can grow that business without destroying their capital structure by continually raising dilutive equity to cover losses on the path to (potential) profitability.
We decided for the first time to use this due diligence framework as an experimental launching pad for a potential ongoing series of Skull Sessions labeled, ‘You Make The Call.”
When we introduced the concept of “You Make The Call”, we explained our motivation like this. In case you missed that email here’s what these events are all about.
This event format is on an experimental basis, but we thought it’d be a good idea to bring in management teams from speculatively-viewed companies eager to present their business plans to us.

Our October 9, 2024, conversation with Dan Schum, founder of NoNameStocks.com, provided a deep dive into the world of microcap and OTC stock investing. This is the second time Dan has been a guest on our Podcast, his first appearance being in 2020. Dan used to have a presence on X under the @nonamestocks handle, but left the platform in 2023. So, we wanted to see what Dan has been up to in the world of the OTC and dark stocks. This was a great conversation, where we covered about 10 stocks, many of which are in our own coverage universe. If you used to follow Dan and are wondering how he feels about some of the stocks he used to talk about on X, this is a must-listen Investor Insights Skull Session.
This week, we’d like to rewind the month of September and quickly spotlight a few of clips from Skull Sessions that we held – clips that we promised we’d extract with hopes that they’d inspire you to watch the rest of the events in case you missed them. They included 4 microcap management executive Skull Sessions and 2 talks with investing peers, both of which spoke with us about some bullish stock pitches.
