One home for every cohort, every startup and every alumnus.
Your programme runs on events, conversations and people helping each other. openhour puts all of it in one place, under your name, and keeps it going after demo day.
Create your accelerator communityOrganised the way you already are
Chapters, units and groups, named your way. Here’s a typical example.
Chapters
Cohorts
e.g. Cohort 2026 · Cohort 2025 · Alumni
- Every founder in the cohort, in one place
- Cohort-wide events: kick-off, demo day prep, demo day
- News that reaches the whole cohort
- When the programme ends, the cohort becomes alumni and stays
Units, inside a cohort
Tracks
e.g. Fintech · Healthtech · Climate
- Workshops for the founders they are meant for
- A fintech session never reaches healthtech
- Founders see who else is in their track
Groups, across the community
Startups and circles
e.g. Team Nimbus · Fundraising circle · Women founders
- Each startup team gets its own small space
- Founders join circles by interest, from any cohort
- Open to all, or by request: you choose
