HOW I BUILT A 96% CAGR SMALL-CAP PORTFOLIO

The small-cap world is full of noise -- pump-and-dumps, zero-revenue shells, Discord-driven hype cycles. Fundamentals get ignored, and what passes for “research” is often just recycled speculation. No institutional-lever research. No framework for finding what actually matters.

That’s why I launched this portfolio three years ago -- to chase momentum or spin up a content engine, but to bring real structure to a chaotic corner of the market. I wanted to treat sub-$4B companies with the same rigor you'd expect further up the cap stack. A roadmap for how to find the ones that actually build -- with real product, real IP, and long enough runways to become foundational.

This was never about “what’s hot.” It was about “what lasts.” I wasn’t looking for names that could just go up -- I was looking for companies I could underwrite, hold through volatility, and watch compound over time. That approach paid off: this portfolio has compounded at 96% annually, nearly doubling every year -- no pump-and-dumps, just conviction and discipline in places no one was watching.

That lens led me to find:

$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ -- Future of Space Logistics

$AST SpaceMobile, Inc.(ASTS)$ -- Bridging Global Connectivity from Space

$IONQ Inc.(IONQ)$ -- Push for a Quantum Network

$Navitas Semiconductor Corp(NVTS)$ -- Power Switch for the AI Age

$Enovix Corporation(ENVX)$ -- Rewiring Energy with 3D Silicon Batteries

These are names that don’t play out in a quarter. They take years -- and that’s the point. I wasn’t looking for “what’s next.” I was looking for “what lasts.”

And the truth is, we’re still early. Most won’t believe in these names until it’s obvious -- but by then, the asymmetry will be gone. That’s what makes small-cap investing different when done right: it’s not about timing the hype. It’s about living in the future before anyone else does.
