The HALO Collective Accelerator Program

HALO, with its 6-week programs running from January through March and July through September, is dedicated to propelling startups to new heights. Whether a venture is just a seed of an idea or a year into its journey, HALO’s mission remains the same: to transform startups into thriving businesses with better products and increased fundraising options.

The intensity of HALO’s environment is unparalleled, fostering an atmosphere where startups thrive. Surrounded by a community of founders, alumni, speakers, and investors, every moment is dedicated to startup growth. This unparalleled motivation drives founders to achieve feats they once thought impossible.

The 6 – weeks leading up to Demo Day are legendary, with many founders hailing it as the most productive period of their lives. While HALO’s support extends beyond these 11 weeks, this period remains the cornerstone of startup success. By creating the right conditions, HALO unlocks the full potential of founders, often surprising them with their own capabilities.

Funding

Halo invests $500,000 in every company on standard terms. Our $500K investment is made on 2 separate safes:

  • We invest $125,000 on a post-money safe in return for 7% of your company (the “$125k safe”)
  • We invest $375,000 on an uncapped safe with a Most Favored Nation (“MFN”) provision (the “MFN safe”)

Groups

Throughout the batch, startups are organized into 4 groups, each led by dedicated group partners. These partners provide personalized guidance through one-on-one sessions and group office hours. Within each group, 12-14 sections (comprising 6-10 companies) ensure founders benefit from an intimate, supportive environment within the broader batch.

Public Launches

Once a startup has something built that’s ready to launch, we help founders figure out how to present it to users and the press. We prepare founders for launches on community sites like Product Hunt and Hacker News, and for their first press pitches and interviews.

Founder Communities

Founders have access to WhatsApp groups and social media channels that cater to specific communities. These include groups for hardware, biotech, edtech, non-profits, international, women founders, Black founders, Hispanic and Latino founders, Asian founders, and more.
