At Pythia Capital, our vision is:
Investing at the edge of chaos emulating nature’s autopoietic principles to restore bottom-up entrepreneurship, individual sovereignty and collective vitality
Applying nature’s complex systems investing principles to empower and unblock flow for boundary pushing entrepreneurs
The Pythia System (Now Called The Pythia Scrolls) is Our Foundational Service Area :
We provide trends research and educational materials anchored in our nonlinear complex systems investing principles. We also have interactive spaces for our investor members to share their thoughts and ideas on our research. Our style is very provocative and divergent. We are not herd followers.
We consciously focus on the edge of chaos to find transformative opportunities and to help our members better manage risks during these chaotic times. We have practical examples of private companies, public companies, and the emerging area of blockchain integrated within our trends research that are both coherent and incoherent with our principles and why this is so important to understand now.
Please listen to the video below as Lynn Marie DePippo, Founder and CEO of Pythia Capital, discusses her experiences, vision, and intentions that inspired the development of The Pythia System (now called The Pythia Scrolls)

Introducing The Pythia System Transcript
0:08 Hello, I’m Lynn Marie, Founder and CEO of Pythia Capital, and I’m here to discuss with you today and the service we are launching called The Pythia System, and this is an interactive trend service based on living complex system principles.
0:28 Originally, this was part of the direct, private, and public investing services as the main foundational educational and trends aspect of our research related to the systemic ecosystem-based approach that we use to find companies and analyze companies that have systemic value propositions for really
0:55 complex problems that tend to be highly interrelated with other problems, so that makes them much more difficult to address.
1:06 An example of this would be the increase mortality in the US, the declining health of the citizens, the obesity, the poor immune system, the health problems across all age brackets that we have some of the most expensive health care in the world in the United States.
1:28 And we certainly don’t have much to show for all of the fancy innovations that we develop. I have spent most of my career actually in the life science space.
1:38 So this is the subject near and dear to my heart. And I also almost died when I was 31 years old.
1:46 a very rare autoimmune problem, where I spent almost a year in the hospital, and so I guess you could say I’m somewhat of an expert on everything that can go right and wrong healthcare.
2:02 And the real motivation for me to adopt these principles when, for the founding of Pythia I think, but it was really related to my own personal experience within the healthcare industry as well as my own experience being an analyst and investor in this space and realizing that for all the money we spend
2:27 , we really weren’t even coming close to dealing with the root cause of most of these problems. And so, when I started to look at these living system principles, one of the things I realized was that they wouldn’t just work for healthcare, they pretty much work for everything, because when we fund businesses
2:46 and we start businesses, we do it in such a siloed way. It’s the same thing as true of the research, environmental research is in one department, biotech is in another, and on and on and on it goes.
3:03 So everything is very very siloed, including how companies are formed and funded. And the other aspect of this, if you don’t have a business where investors perceive that you can make billions of dollars, it’s not really very likely that you’ll get funded by professional investors.
3:22 And that’s not to criticize professional investors, but one of the majority of problems that we face in humanity are complex and interrelated and interconnected with many other things It’s not really possible that we can even begin to address these issues in the kind of financial system and the kind
3:44 of economic system. So when you use living system principles as a primary set of principles to guide both in terms of the physical development as well as the investment approach, you realize that the only way we can, let’s say, regenerate the health of this planet, and generally the health of the people
4:04 on the planet is to take this living system approach with pretty much the entire economic system because the reality is that it is the only way where we can integrate the ecological system into the economic system to be able to address these issues.
4:27 Now this particular service, the Pythia System Service is really the heart and soul of the foundation of the other services, because that’s where we look at trends really on the micro level, where we start connecting the dots across disciplines, where we, this service is set up here, it gives for investors
4:49 of all types as well as serial entrepreneurs and exploratory innovators and what I would call edge entrepreneurs and fringe entrepreneurs because these are the really special souls that are the makers and creative people who are really, really dedicated towards addressing these problems at the cause
5:07 and don’t really let it stop them and the systems don’t really support what they’re working on. They’re really an incredible group of people who don’t really fit the existing paradigm and they know it.
5:19 So with that in mind that The Pythia-System was born and this particular trend service is really the first step in building a community to gather together and start talking about these really provocative and difficult issues.
5:34 And they are rather provocative issues and very polarizing on our society. It’s not easy to have these conversations. Why are we so sick?
5:45 What are we doing to ourselves? What are we doing to our food? What are we doing to the environment? Is it really necessary for us to poison an environment just to feed people?
5:55 So these are extremely provocative questions, very difficult questions. But when you start looking at these issues from a system perspective, you can start looking at the advanced science, like quantum science, complexity science.
6:08 You can start looking at things like complexity science and living system principles as far as indigenous wisdom and integrate all these different aspects together to piece together the real story of what’s going on and only then can we start to address how to really attack these problems.
6:28 And this way you can not only get to the root cause of solving a problem, but you can also find the most incredible breakthroughs because we’re so busy making money that we kind of miss the point in the sense that the emergent aspect of how creativity happens when we bring people together in a room that
6:49 are not normally in the room together and it’s really more about the passion in the heart and the bring the heart and the mind together to really look at that things in new ways to perceive the world in a different way than you perceived it before.
7:06 So that’s really what this is all about and so we hope you join us and this has been a labor of love for many years and hoping for a rather vibrant and joyful and productive and intellectual experience with you all.
7:27 Thank you.
