The Institute for Structured Capital
Structure is the strategy for modern capital raisers.
The Institute for Structured Capital (ISC) is a limited, cohort-based institute created to professionalize how capital is raised in private markets.
Built by Tribevest, ISC exists to set a new standard for Lead Sponsors and Capital Partners who want to raise capital the right way — with structure, credibility, and compliance.
Why We Launched the Institute
Private market capital raising has evolved, but the way people are taught to do it hasn’t.
More individuals than ever are raising capital: Lead Sponsors scaling deals, Capital Partners activating networks, and LPs stepping into more active roles. Yet most are forced to rely on improvised systems, fragmented tools, and informal guidance.
Public markets take infrastructure and standards for granted. Private markets never built them.
The Institute for Structured Capital exists to close that gap.
We launched ISC to:
- Establish shared standards for modern capital raising
- Replace informal approaches with professional structure
- Reduce risk, friction, and confusion across Sponsors, Capital Partners, and LPs
- Help serious operators build repeatable, compliant capital strategies
Structure isn’t overhead. It’s leverage.
How It Works
Apply to Join
The Institute for Structured Capital is limited and cohort-based by design. Interested participants join the waitlist and share a bit about their experience and goals so we can curate strong, peer-level cohorts.
Get Placed With Your Peers
Participants are placed into small, role-aligned cohorts — Lead Sponsors alongside other Sponsors, and Capital Partners alongside Capital Partners. The focus is learning and building alongside people actively doing this work.
Build Through Live Sessions
Each cohort runs for 8 weeks and includes live sessions with experienced coaches. Sessions focus on real-world frameworks, practical decision-making, and applying structure directly to your current or planned capital strategy.
Take Action
This is where structure becomes real. Participants apply what they’re learning in real time — clarifying roles, designing systems, and making decisions that move their capital strategy forward. You don’t leave with ideas — you leave with momentum.
Two Programs. One Standard.
The Lead Sponsor Program
For Lead Sponsors who want to unlock capital partners the right way.
This program is designed for Lead Sponsors who want to:
- Create a structured, repeatable way to work with Capital Partners
- Design deals intentionally for external capital channels
- Reduce operational and compliance risk

You’ll work alongside other experienced Sponsors to build structure around:
- Capital partner strategy and program design
- Deal architecture and capital stack planning

This is for Sponsors who want capital partners — not capital problems.
The Capital Partner Program
For existing and aspiring Capital Partners building a capital aggregation business.
This program is designed for Capital Partners who want to:
- Raise capital professionally and responsibly
- Build a real capital aggregation business — not one-off raises
- Earn trust with Sponsors through structure and credibility
