Research Solutions: The Bloomberg of Scientific Research

I join Avi Fisher, PM at Long Cast Advisers, to have a conversation with CEO Roy Olivier of Research Solutions Inc. (RSSS). This MicroCap Business Breakdowns discussion took place live on December 4th, 2024. You can listen and participate live by joining the community.

Research Solutions is a SaaS subscription platform business that specializes in document distribution and management for the scientific, technical and medical community as well as academic institutions and corporations. The company operates in two segments: Transactions, which represents the purchase of research documents in single document delivery format for a fee, and Platform, which is the company’s fast-growing cloud subscription service providing a unique solution in terms of an efficient research tool to corporations, academic institutions and small businesses.

Research Solutions’ service offerings are packaged as a single solution that enable life science and other research-intensive organizations to speed up R&D activities with faster, single-source access and management of content and data used throughout the intellectual property development lifecycle. The company provides a single-source, one-stop-shop for businesses, researchers and academics to access research documents in a fast, secure (copyright compliant) and efficient way.

The past few years involved some moving parts including a management change, the removal of the Founder/former CEO from the business, organic and inorganic growth, and increases in revenues, gross profits and cash flow. RSSS is now well positioned to continue growing organically and trades at a cheap valuation on today's metrics.
