The Pythia System Membership

Introduction
- Our members are interested to explore new business and investment opportunities at the forefront of exponential change, disruption and technological convergence. We leverage nature's genius to reimagine investing to support liminal space entrepreneurs that are at the forefront of the most creative, life affirming, and vibrant innovations.

Our Vision 
- Investing at the edge of chaos emulating nature's autopoietic principles to empower and unblock flow for boundary pushing entrepreneurs focusing on restoring individual and collectivity vitality.

Nature's Complex Systems Investing Principles, Chaos, and Edge Entrepreneurs 
- At The Pythia System, members can better discover breakthrough opportunities, align systemic value, and manage systemic risk on a macro and micro level. We are hopeful that The Pythia System can help members navigate the chaos and uncertainty of these times by sorting through information overload, finding exciting new opportunities, and risk managing their businesses, investment portfolios or individual projects.

- Our complex systems investing principles are especially helpful at finding where coherence and incoherence are present. When incoherence has been present for too long, it creates an unstable situation where unprecedented experiences are more likely to occur. Even big multi-national companies can't escape the possibility of a dark falling tower moments in our liminal space times. Our principles can help you manage these complexities and risks more proactively and with greater wisdom.  We focus on many micro liminal space trends using nature's intelligence principles that affect global business and investing to help members de-risk and troubleshoot their existing investing portfolios during these chaotic times.  

Educational Resources
- Complex systems educational materials included with membership

- Examples, live and recorded interviews (as part of our trends research) focusing on innovation, new science, advanced technologies, business, and investing

Micro-Trends Analysis
- The core foundation of The Pythia System is our unique type of interactive Delphian trends intelligence powered by living complex systems designed for visionary investors (accredited investors, family offices, and other enlightened institutional investors who are comfortable with direct public or private investing), fringe or edge entrepreneurs, polymaths, and other interdisciplinary innovators. It is foundational to everything we do at Pythia Capital.

- In each micro-trend, we start out by consciously asking provocative questions. We feel our distinctive trends intelligence based on our unique complex systems principles, along with interactive member discussions within our diverse community, can help inspire emergent innovation and important investment insights.

Integrative Thinking in Each Micro-Trend
- With each trend, we integrate left and right brained thinking using our unique living complex systems principles that interconnect ancient esoteric wisdom, complex adaptive systems, and advanced science and technology. It is an exciting, organic, and nonlinear approach to trends research. All our complex crises in the world are nonlinear and complex, but most of the business and investing approaches to addressing these issues are linear. Even more exciting are the breakthrough emergent opportunities that are possible using an approach like ours. Our trends help to inspire innovation from the edge, innovation not possible from mainstream entrepreneurial groups, NGOs, or big think tanks.

Member Directed Projects
- Separate area for members to present their own edge of chaos projects using our complex systems principles

Community and Collaboration
- General community forums with separate discussions for each theme, trend, or investment idea

- We are very provocative by design with our process. We are all human and these are difficult times, so we are all triggered in one way or another. However, Members are required to treat other members with dignity and respect at all times.

                                                                                                      Our Members 

We Welcome...
- Investors comfortable with direct public and/or private investing outside of formal fund structures (including accredited investors, family offices, endowments, and other aligned institutional investors), fringe or edge entrepreneurs, renaissance engineers, curious creative explorers, and other first principle, pan-disciplinary innovators interested in challenging the status quo and restoring a viable bottoms up pathway for core creative entrepreneurialism, individual sovereignty, and collective vitality.

                                                                    The Pythia System Member Benefits

For Global, Multi-Capitalization Public Investors
- Members will find practical value in our discussions of micro themes and trends that are highly material to global business across industries in today's rapidly changing landscape.

For Global Private Direct Investors
- We include examples of companies, entrepreneurs, and funds that fit certain trends and themes.

For Fringe or Edge Entrepreneurs 
- We provide a platform for edge entrepreneurs to present their projects aligned with our complex investing principles to get feedback and/or support from our diverse members.

For Investors Pursuing Decentralization of Digitization
- We show members how to learn from nature's autopoietic ways to find opportunities with the best systemic value propositions. We look at blockchain/crypto as examples of this trend but also other technological approaches that also have natural decentralizing properties. Where is there hype and funny money but little substance? Where is the real value? Our principles can help members work through these complex issues.

Finding Breakthrough Investment Opportunities with Systemic Intrinsic Value 
- With the natural abilities and good intentions of the systemic, diverse and intuitive thinkers at The Pythia System, we feel breakthrough ideas are more likely to arise that can potentially lead to more coherent solutions to complex crises.

- Understanding nature's complex intelligence through our micro-trends can help our members identify groundbreaking discoveries and transformative investment opportunities.

- We feel our trends research can help our members build and invest in companies following nature's complex system principles that offer more intrinsic value to the world and are naturally more coherent with global ecological and social systems.

Divergent Member Mindset 
- The Pythia System is not for the linear mind that likes to play it safe with consensus views and group think. Our members embrace a divergent mindset that encourages out-of-the-box thinking and challenges the status quo

- The beauty of our complex systems investing principles is that they attract the most creative, innovative, high integrity, fringe thinkers, scientists, technologists, and entrepreneurs in the world.  

Better Risk Management During Liminal, Chaotic Times
The Pythia System is built on the foundation of complex systems investing principles which is the best way to work safely on the edge where opportunities are endless but layers of risks are also much higher.

Bridging Polarization
- As a response to all the uncertainty, fear and polarization in the world, we desire for The Pythia System to be a safe, trusted, inspiring and educational space where fellow divergents, outliers, and critical thinkers come together to have the difficult conversations and brainstorm about new business ideas and new investing approaches to unlock value in highly integrated, empowering, and systemic ways.

- Using our principles is a very grounded and energizing way to bridge the intense polarization in the world. Only a nonlinear, empowering, and organic entrepreneurial and investing process like ours can bring people together with divergent perspectives without the fear of exile or banishment to help revitalize our interconnected, collapsing, global systems. Moving from zero sum game economics to non-zero sum game economics requires an approach like ours. Most sustainable business and investing approaches are still using the same zero sum game economic principles we have now, but with more fancy labels. Zero sum game business and investing paradigms are polarizing by definition.

The Pythia System is Foundational and is Designed Purposefully to be Synergistic with Pythia Capital's Direct Investing Service Areas (Coming Soon)
- Phoenix Investing is our direct micro-to-mid capitalization public companies. We focus on diamonds in the rough, off the radar ideas, poorly understood value propositions, overlooked entrepreneurs outside of the crowds of elite cartels, and turnarounds. Our focus fits well with our trends work and edge of chaos focus. There are many interesting investment opportunities in areas neglected or poorly understood by many other professional investors. Our CEO and Founder, Lynn Marie DePippo, has a considerable experience with highly volatile, risky, diamond in the rough style research and investing. Even during these chaotic times, you can earn venture capital like returns but in a much shorter time frame. It is very fun service area and it is very difficult to find managers in this area with the skill and experience of our founding CEO. Working at the edge of chaos may be new for many analysts and investors, but not for Lynn Marie DePippo. She has highly differentiated skills for these rocky, chaotic times. It is not easy to get high quality research in smaller company public investing for many reasons. Also, you control your own money, do not have to lock up your money for years, and pay high management fees and carries. You will also have a chance to share your own complex systems investing public investing ideas with other members.

- Hub&Spoke Investing is our global, direct private investing service. The Pythia System is our foundational service and highly synergistic with Hub&Spoke Investing. Hub&Spoke Investing is for accredited investors comfortable with direct private deals outside of formal fund structures, who are looking for transformational opportunities, and are flexible with exploring new business development and investing models aligned with nonlinear complex systems. Hub&Spoke Investing is not launched yet, but we are beginning to speak to entrepreneurs and collaborators. We focus on breakthrough research and technology, especially in areas of high unmet need. There is an annual fee to access this membership, but there may be realized fees on deals that are not covered in the annual fee. 

- The Pythia System trends research with plenty of relevant information integrated into our trends research public companies, private companies, and the newly emerging area of blockchain/crypto projects that are both coherent and incoherent with our living systems principles (and why this is so essential for investors, entrepreneurs, or company executives)

We appreciate your patience as we get The Pythia System up and running, role out the community discussions, ramp up these discussions, and get our community helpers on board.

- Areas for members to present their own edge of chaos private projects to other members.

If you leave The Pythia System Founding Membership, you lose access to educational materials, The Pythia System trends work, member directed chaos projects, Phoenix Investing, Hub&Spoke Investing, and all associated forums and discussion groups. If you leave and want to come back, there is no guarantee that these same bundles or prices will still be available. You will have to pay market rates at that time.

- We are highly provocative and divergent by design. We follow the truth wherever it leads which is fundamental to our process. Please treat other members with respect. Please do not gaslight or vilify other members. We do realize these are chaotic times and we all get our buttons pushed. We hope for many inspiring conversations and emergent breakthrough opportunities, but these possibilities are less likely to happen if the energies are discordant, abusive, and polarizing.

- We are not financial advisors. You are on your own making your investment decisions.

- Thank you for your patience and support! This has been my dream for a very long time. Lynn Marie DePippo
