Compounding Without Ego with Jean Philippe Tissot, Founder & Fund Manager at Arauca Capital

In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Jean Philippe Tissot, Founder and Fund Manager at Arauca Capital, to dig into his behavioral framework for investing and why he believes managing your psychology is the real edge in micro-cap markets - not finding the next great setup. We break down how his tolerance for "hairiness" shifts depending on position size and company stage, why he treats trust in management like a relationship that erodes slowly then breaks all at once, and his deep dive into Sofwave — a non-invasive aesthetics device company, the symbol is SOFW on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Jean will be hosting a Fireside Q&A with Sofwave management at our event in Las Vegas. We mention several companies and sectors during this conversation, and I'm not a shareholder in any of them.
