We believe hackers have the power to build valuable businesses that compete on a global scale. We don't just break the rules, we rewrite them. Hook is a 5-month program designed to help founders during the most difficult time: starting. There are two batches a year: in Winter and Summer. For whom? Hook is designed for the most ambitious entrepreneurs from 42. Who can apply? Any startup with at least one founder from 42 Network, student or alumni. What kind of startup are you looking for? We are not looking for any particular subject or field. On the contrary we prefer diversity of people and ideas. The more mature is the project, the more chance there is to be selected, however we also accept teams with only an idea. During the selection process we look at 3 elements: the team, the execution and the market. Note that the idea is not in the list: we believe the team and the quality of its execution are the prerequisite to success and, in particular, its capacity to iterate. Fast. What is the program? It is designed with three major elements: - Every week founders will gather for the weekly dinner where we will invite a successful and inspiring entrepreneur. - Access to quality mentoring during on-demand and unlimited office hours. - The demo day where you will demonstrate the quality of your product in front of investors and journalists.
