While some might argue that now isn't the ideal time to launch a tech startup, at Hexa, we beg to differ. This year, we’re introducing our largest ever batch with six companies in total: Tengo, Riverflow, RingX, Okko, Catalog, and Kiosk.

Whether it's optimizing the use of blockchain data for businesses, enhancing sales processes, improving customer engagement, or empowering employees with future-ready skills, we've got it covered. We're proud to introduce a diverse range of B2B software spanning from web3 and productivity tools to edtech and beyond.

What’s next

You know us by now, and you know that we have a lot of ideas brewing. Specifically, two ideas that we’re actively working on and talking to founders about:

‍

TopiX

Today’s collaboration tools such as Slack and Notion work incredibly well in office settings but tend to be overly complex for teams working in the field or in hybrid environments that combine office and fieldwork. These teams often end up using WhatsApp. It's time to reinvent collaboration with a mobile-first approach!

GPTx

Chat GPT presents remarkable opportunities for enhancing people's productivity. However, as of today, it falls short in terms of data privacy and security, making it unsuitable for enterprise use. Plus, it lacks the necessary adaptability to seamlessly integrate with business processes. Let's distribute gen-AI for companies!

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.
