Investment Thesis
What Phil Looks For
“When I'm investing, I'm looking at it strictly as a return on investment.”
— S5 · Ep 10
“I'm a numbers person. I'm an analytics junkie. I like to see customer acquisition cost, lifetime value—all the numbers.”
— S5 · Ep 1
“I never invest in pre-revenue companies. I'm just not smart enough to know those are going to be big hits without seeing early indication that someone's willing to pay.”
— S7 · Ep 2
“I want to invest in a company where I can pour fuel on the fire. Where you have a scalable way of acquiring customers and I can add money to it that'll let you explode.”
— S2 · Ep 4
