We de-risk human capital decisions across the investment lifecycle.

Behavioral Advisory for Private Markets.

At Capital Behavior Partners, we bring behavioral science into capital deployment. We use principles of I/O psychology, organizational behavioral science, and investment decision theory. Our work helps firms’ private markets improve decision quality, strengthen operator alignment, and reduce execution risk.

Whether advising on a fund’s internal dynamics, assessing leadership potential during diligence, or supporting post-placement success, we translate behavioral signals into strategic insights, ensuring that human behavior is aligned with financial outcomes.

Areas of Practice


Behavioral Due Diligence

A psychological layer in your diligence process. We assess leadership decision styles, stress behaviors, adaptability, and fit—using structured interviews and proprietary frameworks.


Post-Placement Performance Acceleration

Reduce early-stage attrition and ramp-time. We support newly placed executives and founders in high-stakes environments to build trust quickly, align behaviors with mandates, and gain operational traction.


GP / IC Dynamics Advisory

Diagnostic reviews and behavioral alignment support for internal fund structures. Improve investment committee cohesion, streamline decision-making, and de-risk internal friction.


Operator Fit Assessments

Ensure Operators are behaviorally aligned with the capital strategy. We help investment teams assess alignment beyond charisma—into cognitive style, motivational fit, and execution capacity.

“Leadership is the courage
to keep learning about
yourself and others.”
