Joining Hexa truly felt like a fresh start. The entire team shared this mindset of diving into something completely new. Hexa equipped us with the necessary tools and methodologies to propel Yousign forward and establish it as a major European contender.

What we look for

B2B software companies

You are ideally a SaaS company in the B2B space, wherein our 12+ years of expertise lies.

High potential

You work on a huge opportunity and have just begun tapping into the potential of your market.

Product market fit

You have demonstrated PMF with €1-10M revenue.

A problem still to crack

Your product, go-to-market strategy, operations, or something else need rethinking to get you on the road to hypergrowth.

Capital efficiency

Your company is relatively capital efficient and a clear path to profitability can be designed.

I’ve been building companies for the last 15 years. For my last venture, we ended up in a financing no-man’s land, which led us to a fire sale. Like many, we were confronted with very narrow support options: to stay on the VC track, you need continuous hypergrowth, while you need to settle for slow, linear growth to go down the self-financing or Private Equity route. By acting as a late co-founder, Hexa Scale offers a third path.

How Hexa Does Early-Stage Go-To-Market

Pre-PMF is the best part of building a startup when you are doing GTM. It's a time of unrestricted experimentation where failures are just part of the process. Unlike tech giants like Google, your early-stage startup won't be making headlines if something goes wrong, giving you the freedom to try, fail, and learn without much scrutiny.
