Invest in Clockwork: AI-powered robots redefining self-care
Summary
We imagine a future where robots are omnipresent, much like how they are in industrial settings like assembly lines today.While our beachhead is beauty services, Clockworks design serves a bigger purpose - ensuring that everyday robots are built with safety, reliability, ethics, and efficiency in mind.The founders of the worlds most innovative companies like Dropbox, along with notable silicon valley VCs Initialized Capital and Pipeline Capital, all agree: Clockwork is a game-changer for the $1.5T self-care industry.Self-care, including beauty services, play a vital role in our daily lives. From ideation, to prototype, to commercial launch, Clockwork has brought our first product to market: a robot that paints nails faster and more accurately than a human - at half the price.We have an impressive patented tech stack that could only be built by our team, given our unique background in robotics, cloud infrastructure, and machine learning. Through our cloud-based platform, beauty services remain uninterrupted, as robots are efficiently serviced remotelyno waiting for technicians.Unlike many other consumer robotics startups, were in the field, generating real revenue.Partners pay an upfront hardware deployment fee, a monthly fee, and a percentage of revenue generated from the services provided by the robot to end-users.Our customers love that we give them self-care that fits into their lives on their budget, all while delivering a seamless and delightful experience.Our regulars become our strongest advocates and most of our traffic is driven by word-of-mouth. Many of our customers have posted videos on social media that have garnered multi-million views.Our partners love the additional traffic we deliver, and the increased time spent by customers at their commercial and retail locations.Our partnership approach allows us to scale alongside enterprise customers who have large real estate footprints, enabling us to efficiently deploy our beauty service robots at scale.Our over 10,000 requests for a robot with tremendous revenue potential demonstrate that the market is ready for us and give us a robust sales pipeline for future locations.With engineering and experience leading teams at Dropbox, Nvidia, e.l.f., Clorox, Toyota, and Uber, our team is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the unique opportunity in front of us.Weve brought automation to the nail segment of the beauty industry, but were just getting started. With Clockwork, fast and budget-friendly self-care is a reality, freeing up time for the things people love.We are backed by Garry Tans Initialized Capital and individual investors including Arash Ferdowsi (founder & ex-CTO Dropbox), Balaji Srinivasan (ex-CTO of Coinbase), Max Mullen (Co-founder of Instacart via Product Co-op), Julie Bornstein (ex-COO Stitch Fix, ex-CMO Sephora), Dawn Dobras (fmr CEO Credo Beauty) among others.Were now inviting our community to invest alongside our institutional investors and join us to reimagine the beauty services industry.Note: We are the first to our knowledge to build the first AI-powered fully autonomous nail painting robot, but dont have definitive proof of that statement.
