The Blackmore Executive Workshop Series
Blackmore Connects — Powered by OpenAI-aligned architecture
Executive transformation through recursive intelligence.
Inside Private Equity. From the Inside.
Most executives only see the surface of private equity.
At Blackmore, we open the control room.
These workshops were built to give senior leaders the thinking playbook of how private equity really works — the psychology, the pacing, and the power signals that drive deals.
No one in the industry has time to teach you this. We do.
Blackmore Connects was founded by five private equity firms who said, “We need executives who think like deal guys — operators who build relationships, understand markets, and create their own access.”
That became our mission: to turn experienced leaders into private-equity insiders.
