Axonica Capital People

Human risk in acquisition. Are you familiar with it?

Your financial models are audited down to the last decimal point. The team tasked with implementing them is assessed based on a few interviews. Axonica reveals, before the agreement is signed, team dynamics, compatibility, and human risks that traditional due diligence misses.

Our method

Three neuroscience-based levers to make the invisible visible

/01

Neuroscience

We rely on PRISM Brain Mapping, a neuroscience-based tool, to map the real behaviors of a team and its individuals, not the controlled version they give in interviews.

/02

Field experience

The tool generates data; it's our team of practitioners who transform it into decisions. Twenty years of studying teams in transition to know when a dominant profile is a strength, and when it's a ticking time bomb.

/03

Custom made

Each evaluation is based on your specific investment thesis, then translated into concrete implications: structuring of the earn-out, retention plan, integration.
