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.

Is Hexa worth 30%?

Is giving up 30% equity to Hexa post-seed worth it? Does the value and capital that Hexa brings justify the equity we take? These are fair questions that deserve transparent answers.

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

They released their not-so-minimal MVP, signed 10+ customers including Elitis and Babymoov Group, assembled an outstanding team, and then pulled it out of the bag with a $3M Seed fundraising led by LocalGlobe — all in an extremely tough market, all in 12 months. 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.

Hexa’s 14 principles of company building

With our ambitious goal of building 30 companies by 2030, we had to take a step back and carefully consider the type of companies we want to create. These companies will span various sectors, including B2B SaaS, health, AI, cybersecurity, and climate. But what will unite them all? What kind of companies do we truly aspire to build?

What is a late cofounder, and why aren’t we talking more about them?

Aside from being billionaires, Elon Musk (Tesla), Eric Schmidt (Google), and Tony Hsieh (Zappos) all shared a unique characteristic: they were late cofounders. But what is a late cofounder? Why do they often act as game-changers, and who is best suited to this role?
