Tim Conley CFO,
Tumbleweed Communications
"I have worked with The MKR-Group for more than three years and am very satisfied with their performance on behalf of Tumbleweed Communications Corp. Todd and Charlie personally know the key investors and analysts in the Micro and Small Cap space, and they leverage these relationships to not only make marketing appointments for us to tell our story but also to keep the channels of communication open in both good and bad times so we have candid feedback.
"I would highly recommend The MKR-Group for a company’s investor relations consultants."

Ryan Capital, Portfolio Manager
"I have worked with the MKR Group since its inception, so I have seen the MKR team operate under a number of different market conditions. Two descriptions immediately come to mind- consistency and credibility. These are rare attributes in the market, but even more rare in the small and micro-cap segments in which MKR has shown particular expertise."

"I have known and worked with the MKR guys for several years dating back to when Charles was at a larger IR firm. They do a fantastic job with little companies. They are quite dialed in to the sell-side analyst community as well as the appropriate micro/small cap buy-side investors. They will get you invited to conferences and arrange meetings with investors. I am sure they have used Group 1 Software and Captiva as examples of their small cap software expertise. As you know, ultimately fundamentals win out but it is my opinion that MKR put both of those companies on peoples radar. In the case of GSOF they were relentless in getting me to meet with the company and that turned out to be a profitable meeting for my investors. I would be happy to discuss this further with you, but I think they would be a great addition to your team."
