The

Hexa
Story

In 2011, eFounders was born

Founded by Thibaud Elziere and Quentin Nickmans, later joined by Amaury Sepulchre. eFounders pioneered the startup studio model. We created a new way for entrepreneurship. One focused on creating multiple companies in parallel and as a team.

In 2022, we created Hexa to go one step further

Having concentrated on building B2B software in the future of work space for years, we decided to expand to new verticals and build companies in fintech, web3 - and more. With Hexa, we were able to go further than we could have ever imagined.

Now our ambition is huge

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

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.
