The more interesting a hook is, the more dangerous it is for the company. Let me give you some samples of hooks:
Slumdog Millionare Hook: "I'm a pennilless indian guy who has taken over the market from american companies." They will call you when they are writing articles comparing india to U.S.
Deformation Hook: "I have only one arm, one eye, in a wheelchair, can't read". But I still managed to make this company.
Location Hook: "I live on a mountain in Tibet, but I'm competing successfully with startups living in silicon valley"
Technology Hook: "Look, I applied my technology to these peoples websites without them knowing and it increased 20%. Then they hired me"
College drop-out hook: "I was kicked out of college, failed, lived on the streets as a bum. Then I came back to make this."
Romance hook: "I lost my girlfriend, and decided to A/B test a bunch of profile pictures. I ended up with the best picture, and decided to start a business out of it"
The key is this: Would a tabloid be interested in writing about this? It has to be dumbed down and sensationalist, and most difficult of all, unique, while fitting within a general pattern.
Difficult to do.
Practical advice for your case: You already have your hook. You are the A/B testing guy that nobody wanted to cover because you were not sexy enough. That's why I remembered you. That's why all these other posters remembered you.
But no journalist knows that story. You can package it and sell it. But like I said at the start - it's dangerous. If it seems fake, it will hurt your credibility.
