All Great Companies Started As Small Companies

Microcap companies represent 48% of all public companies in North America. The ~11,000 microcap companies in North America have a combined market value of $490 billion, smaller than the current market capitalization of Google. Some of the best investors ever, including Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Joel Greenblatt, and many others started their careers investing in microcaps. Some of the best performing public companies ever, including Berkshire Hathaway, Wal-Mart, Amgen, Netflix, and many others started as small microcap companies. The key to outsized returns is finding great companies early because all great companies started as small companies.
I am humbled and honored to say I’ve been a full time private microcap investor since 2009. "Full time private microcap investor" is just a fancy way of saying I support myself by managing my own capital, and I only invest in small microcap companies. I don’t run a fund or manage other people’s money. Last week I was invited to present my story, my strategy, and the case for microcap investing to a group in California. They seemed to enjoy the presentation, so I thought others might find the presentation useful as well.
