Phronexia

Finance & Investment

Allocating capital across bets

Each bet has a sponsor and a spreadsheet, and the spreadsheets do not share assumptions.

What this decision usually turns on

  • Expected return and its confidence
  • Time horizon
  • Strategic necessity
  • Downside if it fails
  • Opportunity cost

These are a starting point. The first thing Phronexia does is help you decide which of them actually matter here, and what weight each one carries.

Who should be in it

  • Founders
  • Finance lead
  • Bet sponsors
