Who it is for

Built for organizations that serve investors

The program is designed to be hosted by a partner organization for its members. No prior investing experience is required.

Angel networks and investor groups

A shared, practical foundation for members who want to invest in seed and pre-seed companies with more discipline.

Professional associations

Applied education on private markets for advisors, analysts and wealth professionals. PLACEHOLDER: CE / CPD credit, if offered

Alumni and community groups

An engaging format for members who are curious about private investing and want to learn by doing.

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.
