How it works
Practical, not theoretical
Participants work on real material from the first session. The program combines short teaching blocks with exercises, live pitches and structured discussion.
- Real opportunities. Companies pitch live, and participants run a guided due diligence debrief on what they heard.
- AI in the workflow. Participants bring a laptop and their own Claude account and use AI for research and analysis during the sessions.
- Taught by practitioners. Sessions are led by Clockwork's founding partners, with guest speakers from the venture and legal side.
- Grounded in operations. Built by the team behind Clockwork Universe, the platform Clockwork uses to monitor and report on private investments.
