ABOUT HEXA

Hexa https://www.hexa.com/ (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 https://www.hexa.com/blog/article/were-launching-hexa-scale-to-transform-linear-growth-companies-into-market-leaders.

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

- Competitive package

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

- Swile meal card

- 8 to 12 RTT days per year

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
