Hook

Hook is a Paris-based early-stage accelerator programme that invests €50K in around ten startups twice a year, designed to help founders during the hardest stage: starting. The Hook Batch is built around a weekly gathering where a successful entrepreneur is invited to speak, on-demand and unlimited mentoring office hours, and a Demo Day where founders show their product to investors and journalists, with a community of 50+ founders and a network of 100+ experts. Hook also runs the Co-founder Boat, a pre-batch programme for ambitious people who are still looking for their crew. The apply page lists the next batch as to be announced and says spontaneous applications are accepted: the Hook Batch is for fully-formed teams only, and the Co-founder Boat is for individuals who are pre-team or pre-idea.
