One offer.
Exclusively for founders.
There is a single founding membership. It is not available publicly and will not be offered again at this moment in Coucou's history. This is a private invitation extended to the people we thought of first.
By invitation only. Léa will be in touch personally.

What exactly is a Founding Member?
A Founding Member is someone who adheres to our human-led vision and becomes a member before the public launch of the membership in September. It's not a typical membership tier. It's a way to support what comes next, whether through your financial contribution, your input on key decisions, or both, and a permanent place in Coucou's story.
How will the upcoming Coucou membership differ from founding membership?
Founding membership exists only during this window and only for this first cohort. It comes with significantly more access and benefits than any future membership tier will offer, plus a level of input and proximity to the leadership of Coucou that won't be available again once the membership opens to the public in September.
When does my membership start?
6pm in Paris access and member pricing start July 15th, which is also the deadline to join. From there, Founding Members who want to can elect to join the advisory committee for the parts of the membership still in development: the Coucou on-demand method, the new website, and the concierge service. This is your chance to give feedback, weigh in on key decisions, and help shape these pieces before they're finalized; it's part of what makes you a Founding Member, you're participating in building the future membership, not just subscribing to it. Your official membership clock starts at the public launch in September, since that's when you'll have full access to every perk.
Is this a subscription or a one-time payment?
It's a one-time founding contribution of $1,500. Your founding membership is active for one year from the date you join.
How do I apply and what happens after I submit?
You'll fill out a short application telling us a bit about yourself and why this matters to you. Léa reviews every application personally and will follow up directly.
Is a spot guaranteed once I apply?
Almost. The application isn't a formality, it's simply how we make sure Founding Membership goes to people who are genuinely aligned with what we're building.
How many Founding Members will there be?
There's no fixed number. What matters more to us is making sure each Founding Member is genuinely aligned with this vision.
When do I get access to the on-demand curriculum and CinéPack library?
The 6pm in Paris CinéPack library is available immediately upon approval. The Coucou on-demand curriculum is still in development. Founding Members are invited to help shape it before it launches.
I already take classes at Coucou, can I still become a Founding Member?
Yes, this is exactly who founding membership is for. It adds to, and deepens, the experience you already know.
What happens after the founding period ends in September?
The new membership tiers open to the public. Founding Members keep their benefits for the full year and their place in Coucou's story permanently.
Is this available to online students or only in-person?
Founding membership is open to everyone, whether you take classes in our Nolita studio or online.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payment happens directly on our website. We accept all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link, as well as Affirm if you'd like to pay in installments.
Is the founding contribution refundable?
No, the founding contribution is non-refundable.
