Alternative Universe Podcast: Applying Practical Wisdom in Investment Partnership

Episode 014: On this week’s episode of Mammoth Technology’s Alternative Universe Podcast, I talk with John Candeto, Founder and Managing Partner of Phronesis Fund.

John shares his journey from operator to investor and explains how his background in building businesses has shaped his investing approach. He also shares his insights on risk management, the power of curiosity and capability, and the power law in investing.

A few key takeaways from this week’s episode:

1. Phronesis Fund is built on the principles of practical wisdom and long-term thinking. It focuses on serving partners rather than trying to be all things to all people.

2. Phronesis Fund's structure allows for flexibility and concentration in investments, with a higher bar for private investments due to the operational intensity involved.

3. Time is the only asset we cannot get more of. Balancing work and personal life to maximize fulfillment and serve others effectively is important.
