There was so much that happened at the Planet MicroCap Showcase: VEGAS 2024, that I thought it would be fun to do a post-event debrief. Joining me were arguably the two busiest people at the event besides our staff, Maj Soueidan from GeoInvesting and Mathieu Martin from the Rivemont MicroCap Fund, who between them did 14 fireside chats with management teams, attended additional presentations on top of that, and another 20-25 1x1s combined on Thursday. In our chat today, we talked about what Q&As and companies stood out to them, as well as differential insights gained from the 1x1s/Q&As they participated in.
