(NASDAQ: NCPL) operates a “digital private markets” ecosystem centered on its Netcapital.com funding platform. The company’s core purpose is to make it easier for private companies to raise money and for investors to participate in early-stage opportunities—while handling substantial regulatory and operational requirements that typically slow or complicate fundraising.
From a business perspective, Netcapital functions as a capital markets technology and service provider. It supports issuers (private companies and other capital-raising entities) through an online workflow that includes creating offering pages, managing onboarding, and coordinating regulatory submissions. The company’s platform is designed to streamline compliance-related steps such as review and processing of required documentation, thereby reducing friction for founders and finance teams running fundraising campaigns.
Product and service offerings go beyond basic listing. Netcapital also coordinates third-party services related to transfer agency and custodial functions, which are important for investor administration and securities handling. Additionally, it promotes offerings to an investor network (e.g., via email marketing) and uses “rolling closes,” allowing earlier liquidity access before an offering’s official close date. The platform also provides ongoing operational guidance and annual filing support, consistent with the ongoing administrative needs of public offerings and periodic reporting requirements.
On the advisory side, Netcapital offers services aimed at helping startups and issuers prepare for raising capital and grow. These services can include digital marketing and development work, messaging support (from pitch decks to advertising content), strategic business guidance, and technology consulting. The company also provides a range of valuation and financial assessment services, such as business valuation reports, fairness/solvency opinions, ESOP feasibility and valuation support, analyses related to non-cash charitable donations, economic/damages analysis, intellectual property appraisals, and compensation-structure assessments.
In terms of cost and operations, a platform-based approach typically shifts part of the fundraising process from manual labor to software-enabled workflows, though Netcapital still relies on compliance, documentation, and external service providers (e.g., transfer agent/custody) that contribute to service delivery costs. Its reported financial profile (from market-data snapshots) has reflected negative profitability metrics in recent periods, which is common for early-stage or scaled platform businesses investing in operations, compliance tooling, and growth.
Key people include CEO Todd Violette (as provided). Netcapital is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, and it was founded in 1984. Its strategic “regulated infrastructure + proprietary market/user workflow” model is intended to connect entrepreneurs and investors in a way that is faster and more accessible than traditional private fundraising channels, while remaining within securities regulatory constraints.

Operator: Good day, and welcome to the Netcapital Inc. Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions]. It is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to your host, Coreen Kraysler. Ma'am, the floor is yours.
Coreen Kraysler: Thank you, Holly. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining Netcapital's Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. I'm Coreen Kraysler, CFO of Netcapital Inc. I will begin by reviewing our financial results and then our Chief Executive Officer, Rich Wheeless, will share his prepared remarks before we open the Q&A portion of our call. Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone of the safe harbor disclosure regarding forward-looking information. Management's discussion may include forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any future results levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements reflect management's current views with respect to operations, results of operations, growth strategies, liquidity and future events. Netcapital assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. With that said, I'd like to now turn to our financial results for the second quarter fiscal 2026. We reported revenues of approximately $51,000 for the 3 months ended October 31, 2025, and as compared to approximately $170,000 during the 3 months ended October 31, 2024. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributed to a decrease in portal fees during the quarter. I'll add that our revenues can be lumpy quarter-over-quarter, as the timing of large client funding events can have an outsized impact on results. We reported an operating loss of approximately $2.1 million compared to an operating loss of approximately $2.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. We reported a loss per share of $0.44 compared to a loss per share of $2.34 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. As of October 31, 2025, the company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.7 million. I'll now turn the call over to our CEO, Rich Wheeless.
Rich Wheeless: Thank you very much, Coreen, and thank you, everybody, for joining the call today. This marks my first call with investors, and I want to start by emphasizing how excited I am to join Netcapital at this pivotal moment in our evolution. Throughout my career, I've been drawing to businesses that use technology to open doors that were previously closed and Netcapital's mission to democratize access to private investments fits up perfectly. I've been involved in the blockchain and crypto …
