Hook

We believe hackers have the power to build valuable businesses that compete on a global scale. We don't break the rules, we rewrite them. Hook is a 4-month program designed to help founders during the most difficult time: starting. There are two batches a year: in Fall and Spring. For whom? Hook is designed for the most ambitious entrepreneurs from 42. Who can apply? You can apply as an individual, or as a startup. What kind of founders/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.
