Shares in **microcap investment fund capAI** soared **over 80%** in early trading after the company announced the appointment of **Professor Ronjon Nag**, a **Silicon Valley-based AI expert and investor**, as an **executive director**.

With a **four-decade track record** in **artificial intelligence and deep tech**, **Nag** leads **R42**, an investment fund specializing in **AI and longevity**. He also maintains strong affiliations with **Stanford, MIT, and Cambridge**, reinforcing his influence in the field.

His appointment is expected to provide **capAI** with valuable access to a **network of investors and cutting-edge tech companies**.

Nag’s **compensation will be entirely performance-based**, meaning he will only benefit if **capAI’s share price sees significant growth**.

Chairman **Richard Edwards** described the appointment as a **“major coup”**, emphasizing that the company will remain **“flexible, agile, and unconstrained”** in capitalizing on **AI opportunities**.

Alongside the announcement, **capAI** revealed a **£275,000 fundraising** through a **share placing**, with **Nag personally investing £50,000**.

**Ronjon Nag, comments** “I am so pleased to join the Board of capAI, with the aim of developing a public entity to access next level advancements in AI and deep science developed by myself and others.”

Following the news, **capAI shares rose 81.33% to 0.068p**.

**Comment:** It would appear that the share price rise in the company of late has anticipated the arrival of a “rock star” to the board. Given that even after the announcement the market cap of the company is still only £800k, the silicon valley hero could deliver further decent upside just by being there.
