Accelerates Transformation into Tokenization and Digital Asset Platform
BOSTON, MA, Jan. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Netcapital Inc. (NASDAQ: NCPL, NCPLW), a digital private capital markets ecosystem, today announced the acquisition of the assets of Iverson Design, LLC, a creative studio and developer of AI-powered design and visualization tools.
Led by multimedia and AI designer Michael Iverson, the studio develops motion graphics, 3D product visualization, investor presentations, and immersive digital experiences.
As part of the transaction, Michael Iverson joins Netcapital as Chief Design Director and Head of AI Experience. Under the agreement, Netcapital acquired Iverson Design’s full intellectual property portfolio, including its proprietary suite of AI-driven design, animation, and real-time rendering technologies. As consideration for the purchased assets, Netcapital issued 980,000 shares of its common stock.
“As part of the company’s transition to tokenization and digital asset offerings, we are excited to bring Michael and his AI design capabilities in-house,” said Rich Wheeless, CEO of Netcapital. “Tokenizing investments in private companies represents a new opportunity, but only if everyday investors and issuers can quickly grasp the value. This acquisition puts Netcapital in a position to deliver an approachable and visually stunning tokenization experience in the market.”
Michael Iverson commented, “I’ve spent my career using design and AI to make the impossible feel simple and exciting. Partnering with Netcapital lets us apply that same approach to tokenization, turning fractional ownership of businesses, new technologies, and creative projects into something people can see, feel, and easily understand.”
Potential transaction benefits:
* AI-assisted design workflows and internal toolsets intended to shorten turnaround time for motion graphics, 2D/3D content, and investor materials
* A narrative-driven approach to explaining tokenization and digital asset concepts, aimed at making complex financial and technical topics easier for issuers and everyday investors to understand
* 3D visualization and real-time rendering capabilities designed to showcase tokenized real-world assets and bring issuer stories to life across digital experiences
* A reusable library of design files, motion assets, and presentation templates intended to accelerate consistent, high-quality investor-facing content across the Netcapital ecosystem
