What Metalgrass does

Metalgrass Ltd. is a privately held niche information-services company founded in 2000 and formally incorporated in 2017, operating from Cheyenne, Wyoming (with original operations out of Kfar Saba, Israel). The business is built on ten vertically specialized knowledge hubs — OLED-Info, Graphene-Info, Perovskite-Info, MicroLED-Info, E-Ink-Info, QuantumDots-Info, MRAM-Info, Spintronics-Info, RRAM-Info, and Valleytronics — that curate news, independent articles, and industry commentary on emerging technologies spanning display, nanotechnology, performance materials, printed electronics, and next-generation memory. The company's oldest brands (OLED-Info, MRAM-Info) date to 2004, and four flagship reference handbooks — the OLED Handbook (2011), Graphene Handbook (2013), Perovskite Handbook (2018), and MicroLED Handbook (2020) — anchor its paid content offering alongside an expanding roster of quarterly-updated market reports (graphene batteries, perovskites for solar, microLED transfer processes, transparent displays, etc.) and the comprehensive OLED ToolBox. Audience scale is the principal asset: 400,000+ monthly readers, 55,000+ newsletter subscribers, and 50,000+ social-media followers.

Metalgrass monetizes through two distinct revenue streams. The primary stream is one-time digital and hardcopy license sales of handbooks and market reports, priced at $97–$600 for handbooks and $349.99–$999.99 for reports, with single-user, enterprise, and hardcopy tiers and PayPal processing through the metalgrass.com e-commerce storefront. The second stream is advertising services sold to supply-chain companies in the OLED, MicroLED, Graphene, Perovskite, and MRAM industries — packaged as banner ads, logo placements, sponsored articles, email blasts, and social-media campaigns — which monetizes the platform's audience across all ten knowledge hubs. Pricing for advertising is not publicly disclosed and is structured as custom engagements with B2B advertisers.

The company is small (1–10 employees) and founder-controlled, with a three-person leadership team: Ron Mertens as CEO/founder (business, marketing, consulting; display and memory expertise), Roni Peleg as Chief Content Officer (content and design; nanotechnology and performance materials), and Yair Katz as Chief Designer (visual consistency). There are no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, or parent-company relationships. In 2022 Metalgrass extended beyond publishing by establishing the MicroLED Industry Association, signaling an intent to occupy industry-convening roles in addition to its core media business. The company holds no disclosed patents or trademarks and operates without formal certifications or regulatory dependencies.
