Hexa (eFounders) is a pioneer and leading startup studio born in Europe that designs builds and launches startups in the B2B and SaaS space.
We have created more than 35 companies (including 3 unicorns) combining 230 m ARR and having raised c. 750 m. Our portfolio includes : Front Aircall Spendesk Yousign etc.
Were now launching a new initiative to finance and support existing startups:
Today many founders are already building promising startups but without the right capital peers or guidance too many stall before they truly take off.
At Hexa Sprint were on a mission to change that: we back founders whove already started building helping them accelerate from 1 10.
We believe that early teams deserve the same unfair advantages as studio-born startups expertise network and rhythm to move faster and smarter.
We do this by investing 500k as their first check surrounding them with sector experts and a tight cohort of peers and giving them access to Hexas collective playbooks from 50 companies.
Our ambition is simple: turn great beginnings into exceptional companies.
