As the co-founder and former CTO of Dropbox, I’ve seen first hand what it takes to solve a truly hard technical problem and make it feel seamless and intuitive to consumers. This is what got me excited about Clockwork. Built on top of a complex hardware and software platform is an experience that’s both delightful and works well. I’ve also tried it :) I’ve known the CEO, Renuka Apte, since she was an engineering manager on the Dropbox infrastructure team. She is deeply technical and an A+ executor. Clockwork is unique as a company in that it sits at the intersection of hardware, AI, and beauty. There is significant latent demand for the fast & cheap experience they offer. I like how Clockwork makes self-care accessible for all, especially minorities, who tend to need the benefits the most. I think this is a recipe to becoming a massive company. I’ve also been impressed with Clockwork’s focus on business fundamentals and their methodical approach to improving unit economics. They’ve done this by negotiating larger rev-shares with partners, eliminating the need for human attendants, and significant hardware cost optimization via engineering. I’m excited to be part of Clockwork’s investment team and to help them bring this opportunity to the community.
