openhour

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 community

Organised 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
