Using Nature’s Intelligence to Take Advantage of Evolved Nash Equilibrium Principles to Unlock Value and Support Entrepreneurs Overlooked by Most of the Investment Community

________________________________

Our “Phoenix Investing” service area involves investing research on the following: 1) multi-capitalization public equities and 2) digital assets for experiential learning of how to apply our living systems investing principles (we do not chase the herd, instead seeking pockets of real value creation). 

Investors can expect a mixture of written content as well as podcasts, live webinars, and videos with interdisciplinary experts. We are not investment advisors to invest at your own risk. This is for educational purposes only.  

Both our areas of focus tend to be volatile and risky with big sell offs following large bubbles and then rising again. Both areas can benefit from our natural intelligence perspective, which is unique for finding opportunities away from the herd and managing layers of risks not possible using other approaches.

We focus on the edge of chaos in misunderstood, overlooked, off the radar, and turnaround situations. It is a fun service area. Keep in mind that this is not a typical investment research product. We discuss coherence and alignment as it relates to our living systems investing principles with the intention of helping to unblock value in these important companies and projects. Phoenix Investing is tightly integrated with The Pythia Scrolls.

We also give members a chance to present their own ideas, as long as they use our natural intelligence systems principles.

We discuss global companies that are both coherent and incoherent with the principles. The degree of coherence is especially helpful in determining which companies have the best systemic value propositions and which ones are exposed to the most risk during these liminal times. We also use the principles to brainstorm about how to help companies with exciting products and services that may be struggling and do not fit very well in the current winner take all system.

You can make venture capital-like returns with our strategies over shorter time frames. However, there is also much more volatility and risk, so our focus and approach is not for the risk averse. Some areas where we focus can be highly predatory and the companies illiquid, but we also focus on newly emerging industries and exciting new trends. We use game theory principles in their higher potential with the intention to support these important edge entrepreneurs. We seek high integrity investors, as this space attracts many sleazy people who do not care about systemic value creation.

“Phoenix Investing” is highly synergistic with and integrated into our foundational service area “The Pythia Scrolls” (interdisciplinary, networked intelligence and living systems investing trends research) and is the only way to access “Phoenix Investing” content.

Contact us here or contact Lynn Marie DePippo directly here: lynndepippo@gmail.com if you are interested to explore our new founding membership in The Pythia Scrolls which contains the following service areas: 1) Codex – educational materials; 2) The Scrolls – interactive trends research 3) Phoenix Investing.

 

The Importance of Connecting the Dots in a Complex World to Support Smaller Companies

In this video, I discuss my investment strategy inspired by natural ecosystem principles and how it relates to the current chaotic market environment. I share insights from my experiences and observations in the investment space, emphasizing the importance of connecting the dots in a complex world.

I also share my perspective on the need to support smaller public and private businesses to restore vibrancy to our global economies using innovative business development and financing solutions. I suggest that applying complex systems investing principles and more evolved game theory concepts (like the optimized/best outcome aspect of the Nash equilibrium) can create win-win scenarios that benefit both the companies and the investors while generating significant returns.

Please take a moment to reflect on these ideas and consider how we can better support our smaller public and private company entrepreneurs across all industries. Can we stop prioritizing most of our financial and support resources to the “Goliath” business strategies and emphasize the “Davids” instead?

The video podcast below discusses what inspired one of my recent blogs “Nash Equilibrium-Complex Systems Investing-Phoenixes Rising” that you can find by clicking here.
