Partner at Hexa Health

Insomnia is often treated with sleeping pills, despite CBT being more effective. However, CBT is costly, rarely covered by insurance, and has long wait times. SleepX aims to improve insomnia treatment for women in the USA with a personalized CBTi program. Women are disproportionately affected by sleep problems, requiring tailored treatments. Our approach combines AI and human guidance to customize therapy to each patient's needs, ensuring immediate and effective access.

ComplianceX

Partner

Most, if not all, companies will need to obtain SOC-2 or ISO27001 compliance, either due to mandatory requirements or customer demands. Achieving compliance is complex and typically requires extensive knowledge, prompting many to turn to closed-source solutions which provides access to knowledge and templates in a somewhat opaque manner. We are building ComplianceX, an open-source alternative that emphasizes transparency by making knowledge and templates accessible to everyone, thereby eliminating this intermediary tax.

Partner at Hexa Health

In France, there are over 100,000 new cases of skin cancer annually, leading to more than 3,000 deaths. Early detection is crucial; 90% of skin cancers are more treatable when identified early. However, the number of dermatologists has decreased by 20% compared to a decade ago. We want to address this gap with small, efficient care centers focused on mole testing, equipped with innovative whole-body imaging devices, and utilizing remote doctors for image analysis.

Hexa Letter #3: Fueled with ambition, driven by purpose

Hexa Letter #3: Fueled with ambition, driven by purpose

Almost two years ago, we made the bold decision to rebrand and embrace a new identity under the name Hexa. Changing a brand that you’ve built over a decade is never easy; it’s a risky bet. We decided to change our name to reflect a new ambition: to move beyond B2B SaaS, explore new verticals, and provide different types of support to entrepreneurs beyond pure creation.

Why we need expertise-specific AI agents

Why we need expertise-specific AI agents

Imagine you need to insure your new car. You call an insurance broker to discuss the type of vehicle, whether it's new or second-hand, how many kilometers you intend to drive per year, who will be driving the car, the type of coverage you want, and based on this, the insurance options available to you — except the voice on the other end of the phone is an AI agent.

Behind the Seed: How Catalog (HX23) raised $3 million from a top-tier VC

We sat down with Julien Bellemare, co-founder and CEO, to bring to life Catalog’s valiant fundraising journey, including how it happened, how it felt, and most importantly, his tips for founders following in his footsteps.
