Sentinel AI and Webull (NASDAQ: BULL) announced a joint pilot program designed to help publicly traded companies engage retail investors through real-time sentiment analysis and targeted investor communications. The initiative combines Sentinel AI’s technology for monitoring bullish and bearish narratives across social media and online news with Webull’s Corporate Connect Service, which provides verified company pages within its trading platform. The program enables companies to identify emerging investor sentiment and work with their investor relations (“IR”) teams to develop approved responses delivered directly through Webull, which has more than 29 million registered users worldwide. According to JPMorgan data cited in the announcement, retail investors accounted for as much as 36% of U.S. stock market trading in 2025, compared with a 10-year average of approximately 12%.

Sentinel AI founder and CEO Krishan Arora said the program aims to connect emerging market narratives with company responses delivered directly to investors at the point of trade. Webull Head of Capital Markets Michael Christoph said the collaboration will help companies address questions relevant to retail investors. The Blueshirt Group Managing Partner Mark Roberts noted that real-time sentiment insights could improve the effectiveness of corporate messaging. The pilot will initially involve a select group of public companies, with broader expansion planned following an evaluation of the initial results.
