Chris Cable
Investor, operator, father. Based in Sydney, drawn to AI, crypto and frontier science.
I began my career in investment banking as an equity analyst, before moving to New York to lead insights and analytics at Diageo. That path gave me a grounding in both financial analysis and the day-to-day decisions that shape a business.
Investing has been the thread throughout. I became interested in Bitcoin in 2013, began backing emerging alternative managers in 2015 and, since 2020, have managed a private portfolio across funds and direct investments.
Today, I follow questions across AI infrastructure, decentralized intelligence and frontier science. I develop theses, test ideas and write down what I see, including the evidence that would change my mind. This site is where I share that work.
A philosophy for life
The barbell, beyond investing.
The barbell philosophy resonates with me well beyond a portfolio. I try to look at most of life through that lens: build a strong foundation around what matters, while leaving room to explore, experiment and take considered risks.
That shows up in ordinary ways, too. I make a point of training in front of my kids, mostly with kettlebells. I’m also trying to spend more time with them on the water, taking the boat out and fishing around Little Manly Point.
Good conversations
Compare notes.
I’m always interested in meeting founders and builders, fellow investors, and researchers working on questions that deserve more attention. If something here overlaps with your work, or you see it differently, I’d enjoy hearing from you.
