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.

 

There is tremendous financial stress in small businesses due to this global pandemic. As a result there are large efforts going on around the world to offer support in one form or another. It is wonderful to see this kind of heart-based support. Nonetheless, it can overwhelming enough day to day just dealing with this crisis to your small business. Pouring through so many different ways to get visibility or funding support can be quite onerous.

Here are a couple of links to locate some support for both revenue visibility and different types of funding relief. There are, of course, many resources available. However, we like the simplicity and ease of use of the following online resources:

https://www.covidcap.com (This is an effort to gather information on different sources of cash relief from the Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship at Duke University)

https://helpmainstreet.com/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axioslogin&stream=top (very clever site to locate local businesses in different cities, order online or support in other ways)

We all have to decide right now what things we value in society and what kind of world we want to live in. As you can see, people are moving quickly, creatively and resourcefully to support and collaborate to address these challenging times in very inspiring ways.
