Performance Psychology Group has been relaunched as a consultancy covering healthcare, housing, energy, and indie film, with a foundation of leadership experience and successful exits.
Clinical psychology gave me the ability to understand people, foresight training taught me to anticipate what lies ahead, and business education helped me decode market dynamics. PPG unites all three for every founder.”— Dr. Alan Jacobson, Psy.D., MBA, Founder and PrincipalLOS ANGELES, CA, CA, UNITED STATES, October 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Dr. Alan S. Jacobson, Psy.D., MBA, the licensed clinical psychologist behindForesight Psychological Institute, has officially established a second, non-clinical
endeavor: Performance Psychology Group, now operating as a startup advisory practice across four sectors – healthcare, housing, energy, and independent film – backed by over ten years of board memberships, seed-stage investments, and finalized exits.
Jacobson's advisory and investment history within the four sectors includes a position on the Board of Advisors of Healthcare Shares, where he is also an investor; an advisory capacity with Rentberry; early investments in Boxabl (Nasdaq: BXBL) and Geoship; stakes in energy ventures such as LiquidPiston, LPP Fusion, and Emrod; and producer credits in independent film and television, including executive producer roles on the TV series Yellow Lines and the films "Walter, Grace & The Submarine" and "Year One."
Two of Jacobson's early investments have since been bought out: Circularis, acquired by Ginkgo Bioworks, and Volumetric Biotechnologies, acquired by 3D
Systems, alongside his earlier role as Lead Investor in Radix Motion, which also achieved a successful exit, forming the track record driving the relaunch.
"Each of those decisions came down to evaluating a founder and a market before the numbers confirmed the trend; that's not a separate skill from clinical assessment, it's the identical approach directed at a different challenge," said Jacobson, who also holds a Certified Foresight Practitioner designation. "Performance Psychology Group makes official what I've practiced informally for years: applying that same future-focused analysis to housing, energy, healthcare, and film, rather than restricting it to a therapy setting."
While Jacobson's clinical services are structured under Foresight Psychological Institute, Performance Psychology Group functions as a distinct, non-clinical
advisory practice, a separation he intentionally upholds given how vastly different startup consulting is from clinical treatment.
Jacobson's production credits are listed on IMDb. The four sector pages – healthcare, housing, energy, and independent film – are accessible at
Performance Psychology Group's Website, where each details his background and his approach to working with founders.
