Tech-Enabled Studio with Hybrid Micro Venture & PE Model
ANX is a tech-enabled studio in Jamaica. We start companies ourselves, or partner with founders of operating companies with revenue of US$5 million or less. Our own dashboard shows where a business stands; then our team works with the founder to fix what holds it back. The founder keeps control.

Net cash flow / wk · ▲ Needs attention
What this shows. Money in minus money out, on average, each week. Here more money is going out than coming in – about J$18K a week.
If it needs attention: When spending creeps up. List everything that left the business last month, grouped. If “other” is the biggest group, money is leaking. First step: Separate business money from personal money.
In the Hub, every guide has the full steps, and the ANX team works through them with you.
Sales last week
What this shows. Money in from sales last week, compared with the week before.
If it needs attention: When sales are falling. Compare the last three weeks with the three before: is the drop in how many customers came, or how much each spent? First step: Call or message five recent customers who have not returned and ask what would bring them back.

Gross margin
What this shows. What is left from each sale after paying for what you sold.
If it needs attention: When your margin is too thin. Take one product and write its price and everything it costs you to deliver one. First step: Reprice the worst one or two items first, not the whole list.

Cash runway
What this shows. How many weeks your cash would last at your current spending.
If it needs attention: When cash is running low. Divide cash by weekly spending. Under six weeks of cover is the amber zone; under three is red. First step: Collect what you are owed first.
