Hexa

Hexa is a distinctive force in the European tech landscape, headquartered in Paris, France, operating primarily as a global group of startup studios rather than a conventional venture capital fund. This unique model involves identifying market opportunities, building companies from inception, and then spinning them out as independent entities. Hexa provides comprehensive support, including ideation, product development, initial funding, and operational resources, aiming to de-risk the early stages of startup creation. This hands-on approach differentiates Hexa significantly from traditional investors who typically provide capital to pre-existing teams and ideas.

At the core of Hexa's strategy are its specialized startup studios, each focusing on a specific technological vertical. eFounders, the pioneering studio, has a strong track record in building successful Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies, having launched over 30 ventures, including notable names like Front, Spendesk, and Aircall. Expanding its reach, Hexa also encompasses Logic Founders, dedicated to innovating within the fintech sector, and 3founders, which focuses on the rapidly evolving web3 space. For each company they build, these studios typically inject initial capital ranging from approximately $540,000 to $1,080,000 USD, providing the foundational financial runway alongside extensive operational support.

The Hexa model has proven highly effective in generating high-growth tech companies. The collective portfolio of companies built under the Hexa umbrella has attracted substantial follow-on funding from external investors, with eFounders' portfolio alone having raised over $1.5 billion in total funding. This success underscores Hexa's ability to not only conceive and build viable businesses but also to nurture them into attractive propositions for later-stage capital. Their long-term commitment and deep operational involvement, from talent acquisition to strategic guidance, are key factors in the accelerated growth and market penetration of their spun-out companies, solidifying Hexa's position as a significant company builder in the global tech ecosystem.
