Capex Experts
Capital allocation,thought through.
Perspectives on capital allocation, Capex strategy and investment decision making from Fredrik Weissenrieder and Daniel Lindén, the founders of Weissr.
Their thinking comes from more than 25 years of working with capital intensive companies and seeing first hand how investment decisions are made, where the process breaks down and what separates good Capex decisions from great ones.
The thinking behind Weissr
Redesigning Capex Strategy
Weissr is built on more than 25 years of experience working with capital intensive companies and their investment decisions.
Much of what Fredrik Weissenrieder and Daniel Lindén learned along the way was brought together in Redesigning Capex Strategy, published by McGraw Hill in 2022.
The book challenges a common way of thinking about Capex.
The question is not simply whether an individual project has a good business case.
It is whether that project is the best use of the capital available.
That requires looking at investments as a portfolio, comparing them on the same terms and understanding how each investment contributes to the company’s strategy.
This thinking became the foundation for Weissr and is particularly central to Capex Strategy.
Today, the methodology is built directly into the Weissr Capex Platform, helping companies connect strategy with investment decisions, compare opportunities consistently and decide where capital can create the most value.
Is this the best use of the capital we have?
That is ultimately the question Weissr is designed to help companies answer.
