At Hexa, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our 2024 batch of startups, marking our largest cohort to date. Building on last year’s record of five new startups, we’ve doubled our output this year, introducing 10 companies to the world. This growth demonstrates the scalability of our model and the momentum of our team.Our expansion also coincides with the addition of two new partners, Julien Meraud and Ugo Vollmer, who join existing partners Matthieu Vaxelaire and Florent Quinti. Together, we are getting closer to our ambition: launching 30 startups annually by 2030.
Expanding our areas of interest
While Hexa began with a focus on B2B SaaS and Future of Work, our scope has now broadened to include new and exciting areas like AI infrastructure, open-source solutions, and longevity care. This expanded focus is evident in the 2024 batch, which includes startups tackling diverse challenges—from skin cancer detection to voice-first interfaces. You can explore our full range of focus areas here.
Each Hexa startup is born out of close collaboration between our partners and talented entrepreneurs. Over the course of a 12-month period, we transform ideas into fully operational companies with the support of our 30-person team, which spans expertise in product development, design, marketing, legal, and more. Our goal is to build highly ambitious companies.
