About Hexa
Hexa (formerly eFounders) gives entrepreneurs the best chances to build outstanding companies.
We are a pioneering, world-leading startup studio born in Europe that designs, builds and launches category-defining startups. We are today recognized as one of the best venture studios in the world, with a track record comparable to tier-1 VC funds.
We have created 60+ companies (including 3 unicorns) with a combined valuation of over $5 billion among them Aircall, Spendesk, Front, Swan and Yousign. We are passionate about B2B software, particularly AI-native and agentic SaaS, fintech, climate tech, defense tech and healthtech.
Hexa is in full growth mode, with three early-stage activities: our Ventures programs Hexa Start and Hexa Sprint which help entrepreneurs go from zero to one, and a PE program, Hexa Scale, which takes majority stakes in existing startups and pushes them to new thresholds.
Hexa Scale
Today, successful software companies have two ways to support and finance their growth: the VC path, and the self-financed profitable path. For software companies that can’t or do not want to bootstrap, but haven’t managed to stay permanently on hyper-growth, the VC path is a dead-end.
At Hexa Scale, we’re on a mission to solve this: offer a new alternative to fund and scale software companies towards exponential growth.
We believe that there are great software companies, still early stages in the 2-10m€ ARR range, that sit on amazing markets with a great product, but that require a few changes to unlock their potential.
We believe that by providing them with capital and strong operational leverage, we can put them on the right trajectory, towards category-leading exponential growth. Our full manifesto.
Your role is to help us find, select, invest in, and drive those companies.
Mission
You'll join a team of four (Quentin, Augustin, Thibault and Samuel). You’ll participate in the complete deal-flow cycle in order to make 2 or 3 successful deals a year.
What you'll do
Inbound deal flow
Contribute to our inbound engine and marketing initiatives: white papers, blog posts, campaigns and founder community events.
Screen every inbound lead and make sure founders hear back from us within hours.
Outbound deal flow
Build and maintain our AI-powered sourcing stack: company database, internal AI tools, data scraping and outreach sequences.
Qualify sourced companies and run outreach with a strong response rate, so that new opportunities come in every week.
Drive sourcing across the team, making sure everyone is accountable for pipeline volume.
Market research
Perform deep-dives on the sectors we prioritize: players, products, competitive dynamics, funding and exit landscape, customer value and GTM models.
Source and run calls with market experts outside our network, at scale.
Deal analysis & execution
Analyze targets in depth: business model, product, team, growth engine and business plan.
Build our own version of the business plan and financial model with the team to stress-test key assumptions and risks.
Write investment memos and present to the investment committee.
Analyze cap tables and contribute to deal structuring and term negotiation.
Portfolio & value creation
Monitor portfolio KPIs and track the progress of each transformation plan.
Support founders on ad-hoc value-creation projects (pricing, GTM, M&A).
What we’re looking for
Experience
2–3 years in VC, growth equity, small-cap PE, tech M&A, or a comparable analytical role (strategy consulting, IB).
AI fluent - You’re at home with tools like Claude Code, Cowork, or OpenAI Codex, and you enjoy building your own AI applications to solve real-world problems
Strong financial modeling skills and a solid grasp of SaaS metrics.
Fluent in English and French. An additional European language is a plus.
Mindset
Entrepreneurial: highly self-driven, a fast learner, a doer with a hunter mindset.
Deeply curious: you dig until you reach the heart of a topic.
Independent thinker: you form your own views on markets and deals, and you voice them.
Coachable: you actively seek feedback and love to learn.
Passionate about software and technology.
