Our take
Hook are developing a powerful machine learning platform that informs subscription businesses which enterprise customers they need to focus on, and what actions they need to take to increase loyalty.
With the increasing amount of companies offering subscriptions as their main or additional revenue streams, the type of insights Hook provide are particularly relevant. They want to change how businesses engage with their customers by harnessing the power of technology, which will require a strong technical team.
Backed by some of the top early stage investors in Europe – including LocalGlobe and Mulesoft founder Ross Mason – Hook has already started working with customers, including some of the fastest growing companies in the world.
