  • 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.

    What we offer

    • 65k et 75k + 20% “profit sharing”

    • Opportunity to invest in Hexa portfolio startups at a preferential rate

    • Swile meal card

    • 8 to 12 RTT days per year

    • Mobility budget: €500/year for green transportation (bike, metro, electric scooter)

    • Health insurance with 50% coverage for you and your family

    • 1% Holiday bonus
