Not every SaaS company will get bought by Atlassian. And that’s OK. ✅ Cycle App - a Hexa company - was just acquired by Atlassian — a rare, brilliant outcome. Strategic buyer, strong synergies, and above all: led by a world-class founder, Mehdi Boudoukhane and a resilient as never team Thibaut Nyssens 🐣, julien baudic, Martin Delobbe and all those I'll forget. But let’s be honest: that’s the exception, not the playbook. There’s a silent majority of B2B SaaS companies out there that are: 💰 Profitable or breakeven 📈 Growing at 15–30% 🧩 With clear product–market fit 💡 But too slow for VC 📦 And too small for PE 🚫 No liquidity path in sight They’re not broken. Not distressed. Just… overlooked. At Hexa, we believe this is one of the most exciting opportunities in tech right now. These businesses aren’t failing — they’re just *stuck*. And with the right operational focus, they can thrive. That’s exactly what we’re doing through Hexa Scale: ⚙️ We partner with founders 🚀 Help unlock their next chapter of growth 💡 Without chasing vanity metrics or burn Cycle’s sale to Atlassian? Amazing. But rare. For most, PE-style growth is the real play. 📄 I wrote a deeper breakdown of this thesis — link in comments. 🧠 We’re now looking for a second partner to help expand this model. If this resonates, DM me — or tag someone in comments. Let’s go build the next generation of #good-#to-#great SaaS companies.

Europe doesn’t lack ambition. It lacks 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞. I meet European founders every week. They’re ambitious. Relentless. Fighters. Yet building across the EU is unnecessarily hard: fragmentation, multiple languages, and rules that change at every border. For most founders, it’s friction. For some, a breaking point. For investors, often a reason to ask for a 𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘱. So we decided to stop commenting — and start building. 👇 Today, we’re launching a new Start project at Hexa. Code name: EuropeX 🇪🇺 Our ambition is simple: 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑬𝒖𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒑𝒔. A company infrastructure designed from day one to scale across borders, standardise governance, and attract global investors. The conversation has started elsewhere (EU INC). Through the tremendous success of Roundtable as a pan-European SPV & Fund platform, we’ve built a strong conviction: 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬-𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞. Our focus is execution — drafting standards and turning them into something concrete, usable in a few clicks, and durable. Now 🕚. The project kicks off with Damien Jacques, a repeat entrepreneur who has led large-scale tech projects across 20+ countries. Thibaud Elziere and I will follow the project closely, deeply involved in the mission and its execution. We’re now looking for a 𝘊𝘰-𝘍𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 & 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘧 𝘌𝘜 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘈𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵, based in Brussels. Someone to design how European Companies' infrastructure will be built by default: governance & investment standards, pan-European subsidiary management, cross-border invoicing & payments, EU-compliant employment & ESOPs. 👉 𝑻𝑳;𝑫𝑹 : 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒖𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒙𝒚 𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒇𝒇— where standards + tech can remove massive complexity. If this resonates — as a future co-founder, founder, or ecosystem partner — get in touch. 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘐𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦. ⚡️

✍️ Connecting the dots. 🇪🇺 𝑬𝒖𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝑫𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒊𝒐𝒏. Back in 2019, we set out at 𝐇𝐞𝐱𝐚 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 to build a European leader in e-signature. At the time, the market was dominated by US giants — and few believed there was still space for a major European player. Dozens of smaller companies existed, but none looked ready to emerge as a continental champion. Then we reconnected with Luc P. and Antoine Louiset from Yousign, and later Alban Sayag joined the adventure — 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵. Today, the company stands among Europe’s leading e-signature players — and I’m convinced it’s the one growing organically faster than anyone else. The e-signature market, once booming during Covid, has evolved into something deeper: 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒕𝒚. Yousign no longer “just signs” — it now seals, verifies, and authenticates documents and their content. In the era of AI and digital forgery, that’s a massive opportunity. ✍️ Signature is only one part of a much broader ambition: 𝒅𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕 🛡️. It was therefore time for a new identity — one that reflects the company’s vision and its role in Europe’s digital sovereignty. 👉 Today, Yousign becomes 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 🛡️ With Youtrust, the loop is closed: 𝐰𝐞’𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞’𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 🇪🇺. Proud to serve on the board and to continue this journey that started six years ago with Hexa Scale !

Is Founder Liquidity the Enemy of Growth? 🤔 In Venture Capital we usually see equity deals in two buckets: 💸 invest for growth -or- 🏁 cash out for liquidity As a founder : one pushes you forward, the other helps you breathe. 𝑩𝒖𝒕… 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒇 𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒐 𝒃𝒐𝒕𝒉? I’m working on a long-form piece on founder, employee and early-stage investor liquidity — after speaking with a lot of founders, one thing is clear: Europe (&US) need new mechanisms, not just better versions of tenders and secondaries. A different model: liquidity and growth 🚀 That’s where I realized Hexa Scale might have something to add. It's just linked to my current way of thinking on liquidity Hexa Scale is our micro-PE arm: ➡️ majority stakes in profitable SaaS companies (~€2–5M ARR) ➡️ strong fundamentals but a growth ceiling ➡️ operators + capital to rebuild for scale It fills the gap between: ❌ VC (too “slow”) ❌ PE (too “small”) ✅ Founders who want to go from 10 → 100 Founders don’t join us for liquidity — 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒍. And it matters. How it works : 💰 We invest €5–20M 💵 Founders cash out a portion → first liquidity moment 📈 Together we aim to 5–10× valuation over ~5 years 🏆 Then comes the real exit → second liquidity moment 𝑻𝒘𝒐 𝒍𝒊𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔. * One growth journey. * No contradiction. Liquidity doesn’t have to be the enemy of growth — in many cases, it’s what unlocks it. If you’re curious, I break it down in a conversation with Augustin Celier, Partner at Hexa Scale. 👉 Worth a listen for both founders and investors

J’ai (finalement) dit oui à un podcast 🎙️ Je n’adore pas l’exercice médiatique, mais pour une fois, je ne regrette pas 😉 Quand Thimothée Remy m’a contacté il y a quelques semaines, j’ai… fait ce que je fais souvent : rien. Pas par manque d’intérêt, juste une question de priorités. Le temps, ce truc qui force parfois à décliner de chouettes initiatives. Et puis il y a la bonne manière de me convaincre : 👉 une warm intro de Michaël Grandfils — brillant entrepreneur dont on ne parle pas assez, 👉 un thème qui touche juste : “𝑳𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒓 𝒍’𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒈𝒆”. Un essai de créer un Génération Do It Yourself belge (😉 Matthieu Stefani), une voix de plus dans un écosystème en ébullition, qui se structure et qui mérite franchement plus de lumière. Mais ce qui m’a décidé, c’est surtout le professionnalisme de Thimothée. Je me suis dit : “𝘖𝘒, 𝘫𝘦 𝘭𝘶𝘪 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦 2𝘩. 𝘐𝘭 𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘲𝘶𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘦 𝘣𝘪𝘦𝘯.” Je suis évidemment incapable de réécouter toutes les sottises que j’ai dû raconter 😅 — mais comme j’ai passé un super moment, je suppose que ce sera écoutable. On a surtout parlé de ma vision du risque en entrepreneuriat, et bien sûr d’Hexa, cette plateforme entrepreneuriale que je suis fier d’avoir co-fondée. J’invite d’ailleurs toutes les personnes (souvent trop discrètes) de notre petit écosystème belge 🇧🇪 à passer derrière son micro. Thimothée est talentueux, carré, et ça fait franchement du bien.

🚀 A New Chapter for Hexa — Welcome Matthieu Gombeaud as CEO We started Hexa (then eFounders) back in 2011, fleur au fusil, with Thibaud — hungry to build not one, but many exceptional companies. We pioneered the #startupstudio model and turned it into a thriving engine for launching startups across Europe and the US. But over time, one question became central: How do we build a company that thrives beyond its founders? This led to two key shifts: #1 — We evolved the model Three years ago, eFounders became Hexa and welcomed Amaury as cofounder. We structured ourselves to scale — financially and operationally — and opened the door to new initiatives, new verticals, and above all, new partners with fire and ambition. #2 — We chose to appoint a CEO 👑 As Hexa grew, it needed a single voice to lead it forward. After a long and thoughtful process, Thibaud, Amaury and I found a perfect match: 🎯 Matthieu Gombeaud is now CEO of Hexa. His leadership was also unanimously endorsed by our partners. Avemus papam. Matthieu is sharp, empathetic, demanding — and yes, better than us on many fronts. He’ll lead Hexa as we focus on building the platform’s next phase. For me, that means doubling down on #HexaScale, our second growth engine, alongside Augustin as first inception partner. The future is bright. Please join me in welcoming Matthieu on board 🚀👋 #WelcomeMatthieu #Hexa #Leadership #StartupStudio #NextChapter #HexaScale

For the past 15 years, Hexa has been hesitant to hire a CTO, believing that each project should have its own CTO or co-founder to ensure full autonomy without shared services. However, the emergence of AI has transformed the venture building landscape. When we learned that Tanguy Goretti was open to new challenges, we seized the opportunity. We "Jumped" 😉. We previously shared office space during his early Cowboy years. We recognize the immense potential AI presents for venture builders—likely the biggest opportunity we've encountered in the last 15 years. We now need an AI champion in house. With Tanguy's talent, we believe we can significantly increase our chances of success. 10x :-) Welcome to your new home, Tanguy. We look forward to the journey ahead and hope you can keep the offices a bit more organized this time.

💡 Venture is rich on paper — but poor in cash. 💧 Let’s make VC liquid again. 📝 I’m launching a newsletter to explore ideas and initiatives that can help keep Venture one of the most attractive and impactful asset classes — the one that powers entrepreneurship and innovation. I fell into Venture Capital with Hexa the way Obelix fell into the magic potion. VC is magical — an intoxicating craft where we help create extraordinary companies and witness incredible entrepreneurial stories unfold. In financial terms, Venture is all about seeking alpha — finding the exceptional founders and companies worth backing, both with conviction and with capital. But behind this wonderful world lie some harsh realities we don’t talk about enough. Building companies is hard. It demands real-life sacrifices from founders and their teams. We often assume they make a lot of money — but most of it isn’t real. It’s only on paper. It used to take around seven years to “realize” part of that value. Today, it often takes ten to fifteen. The same applies to many early investors. Venture Capital, for all its brilliance, has one Achilles’ heel: *liquidity*. I’ve decided to explore this Achilles’ heel from different angles — especially in Europe. If you’re a founder, angel, banker, or VC investor, follow the newsletter. Together, we’ll explore how to keep Venture the vibrant engine of entrepreneurship and innovation it was meant to be. 👉 First article here: https://lnkd.in/ePm8NcRb 🙏 Peter Walker who provides us with amazing data insights on the industry

🏠✨ Hexa is opening a House in San Francisco — why? And why now matters more than ever. Over the past months, I’ve been feeling something I hadn’t felt since 2011, when I started Hexa. Back then, Software-as-a-Service was being invented in San Francisco. The playbooks, the ambition, the density of experienced talent — they were all there. Europe had excellent founders, but the energy, the speed, the boldness of the Valley operated on another wavelength. Being in SF wasn’t optional if you wanted to understand where the software world was going. It was where you went if you wanted to 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞 1 🚀 Today, with AI, the gap feels as big again. 🤖⚡ Most of our partners and companies spend a significant amount of time there, so many I can't all remember them. The transformation now happening in San Francisco — not just in research but in applications, in ambition, in velocity — is years ahead. You see founders pushing boundaries every single day, investors running faster, talent concentrating at unprecedented scale. It is the epicenter of this new industrial revolution. 🌋 And that matters deeply to us, because Hexa has one mission: 🔥 𝑰𝒏𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 10× 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂 𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 A little hello to the fellow friends of San Francisco & friends of this project (sorry I'll forget most of them) Mehdi Boudoukhane, Amaury Sepulchre, Ugo VOLLMER, Aircall and Tom Chen, Matthieu Gombeaud, Mathilde Collin, Dan O'Connell, Basalt, Nicolas Bustamante, Raphaël Vullierme, Tandem, Thomas France, Alan Talanoa, Séverine Nolf, Jacob C., Nicolas Dessaigne, Davy Kestens, Laurens De Poorter, Anh-Tho Chuong, Alexei Chemenda, Erika Batista, Romain Huet, Matt Brown, Guillaume "𝑮" Cabane, Ivan Zhao, Morgan David de Lossy, Anthony McCusker, Matthew Amico, Sebastien de Halleux, Tomasz Tunguz, Carlos Diaz, Ben Fu, ....

Entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint. At Hexa, we’ve decided to do both. 😂 When Thibaud and I started Hexa back in 2011, we were repeat founders launching multiple projects in parallel — "parallel entrepreneurship" was literally our tagline. We’ve learned that building companies is a marathon. But the first few months — the sprint — make all the difference. A 10x difference. A good sprint means: 👉 setting a clear vision, 🚀 raising the level of ambition, ⚡ and accelerating execution. That’s why we’re launching Hexa Sprint, the missing link in our ecosystem — completing the strategy we began two years ago. Thanks to Matthieu Gombeaud we can focus Amaury Sepulchre leads Hexa Start (from 0 → 1) — where ambitious co-founders build new ideas with us. I lead Hexa Scale with Augustin Celier (from 10 → 100) — growing mature SaaS companies through our innovative micro-PE model. And now, Thibaud takes the lead on Hexa Sprint (from 1 → 10) — acceleration, long-format and verticalised — with Guillaume Lerouge as first partner focussing on Defence and Sovereignty. Almost 15 years, 50+ startups, and still sprinting like day one. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 To know more, apply as a Startup or invest > fo to first comment

Dermascan is a project somewhat off Hexa’s usual path. 𝘚𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴. And yet, the simple habit of regular check-ups, supported by very high-precision medical imaging, has never been deployed at a scale that matches the magnitude of the problem. Thanks to Julien MERAUD, we became aware of this reality. And we opened our minds. Because here, technology does not stand alone. It merges with physical care locations to create something rare: 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧. And a model that is also profitable. Which makes it possible to open more and more centers across France — and soon across Europe. Technology in the service of people. This is exactly the kind of mission that drives us at Hexa. Congratulations to Florian LEGRIS and Hadrien Lepage for the nobility of the mission and the exceptional quality of the execution. And thank you to Techmind, Ring Capital, Kima Ventures, 199 Ventures and great Business Angels as Celine Lazorthes and Jean-Charles Samuelian-Werve for their support during this first significant fundraising round, which will allow Dermascan to scale. Onwards 🔥

Tres bonne (et longue) série d'articles de Adrien Chaltiel sur le status du VC (et un peu du PE tech) en Europe, avec une angle spécial France. Une bonne lecture de synthèse pour comprendre les constats (partie 1/3), les spécificités Européennes (partie 2/3) et à paraitre semaine prochaine les perspectives et évolutions. Beaucoup de choses que je partage dans la série d'articles qui vont dans le sens de l'évolution de Hexa qui se développe avec les initiatives #Sprint et #Scale en sus du métier d'origine de #Start pour répondre à la mutation/ maturité du secteur Tech Européen.

Filiz recrute son CRO. Et c’est une vraie opportunité de co-construction aux côtés de Maxime Jacquet 🚀 Filiz, c’est une histoire assez rare : → 200+ écoles en 2 ans → 100 % organique → zéro machine commerciale Juste un 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵-𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘵 très fort sur un marché — l’enseignement supérieur — qui a un besoin massif de renouvellement logiciel. Bootstrappée jusqu’en 2025, Filiz est devenue la référence sur le financement de l’apprentissage, et déploie (très) bientôt un ERP métier all-in-one pour les écoles. Le terrain de jeu est immense : 🎯 ~7 000 écoles cibles en France 📈 une demande déjà supérieure à la capacité de réponse 🤖 une roadmap ERP + AI / agentique très ambitieuse Filiz a rejoint Hexa Scale fin 2025 pour accélérer, une pépite dénichée par Samuel Boggio et Augustin Celier. Et la prochaine étape est clé = Maxime Jacquet cherche son CRO — un véritable late co-founder côté 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞. Un rôle structurant pour l’entreprise, en binôme direct avec le fondateur : - construire la fonction commerciale - closer les grands comptes - poser les bases d’un leader européen de l’EdTech L’objectif est clair : libérer Maxime pour qu’il puisse se concentrer sur le produit, l’ERP nouvelle génération et les briques agentiques à venir. PMF fort. Marché en or. Timing parfait. Si tu es (ou connais) un profil CRO / VP Sales B2B SaaS très entrepreneurial, le lien est en commentaire.

Probably one of the best written pieces about our story building Hexa over the last 15 years with my partner in crime Thibaud Elziere I look at it as a gift 🎁 from Thomas Yeddou, as it is unsolicited, anthough there is quite some work in it.

𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤? 💸 As part of my series on liquidity (👉 https://lnkd.in/eRZ9dVsS), I’m exploring what good frameworks for founder liquidity could look like in VC-backed companies. It’s a taboo topic. Yet it comes back 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘺𝘤𝘭𝘦 🔁 After a few brutal years, a founder has usually: - taken below-market pay - absorbed most of the stress - put ~100% of their net worth into one company Some 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲. It de-risks personal life without changing ambition. Travel with family ✈️ Reduce pressure 🧘🏻‍♂️. Breathe. Alignment remains intact when 90%+ of wealth stays in the company. Where it goes wrong is not liquidity itself — 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡, 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 ⚠️ Large secondaries at Series A / B / C often lead to: - distraction (angel investing, side projects, real estate) - loss of focus when execution matters most - later misalignment (“I sold too much” → ESOP re-asks) Not because founders are weak — but because the new context switch is 𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 once real cash enters the picture. Interestingly, this is less of an issue in PE. Why? Because liquidity comes with forced re-alignment 🤝. Cash out and roll over a meaningful stake, on the same terms. Money out. Skin back in. Same game. Founder liquidity isn’t good or bad. 𝐔𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬. What the VC ecosystem likely needs: 💰 how much ⏱️ when ⏱️ 📐 under which conditions I’d love to hear founders’ real stories — when it worked, and when it didn’t. That’s how we design better rules of the game. 👇 In the comments: please tag founders and VC's who’ve experienced founder liquidity events — I’d love to learn from them.

The dream job isn’t a myth — it’s Partner at Hexa Scale 💪 The excitement, speed, and sense of impact that come from working as an entrepreneur — turning initiatives into reality and see impact ♟️ The intellectual challenge and curiosity of investing — digging into markets, exploring business models, and constantly learning. For me, these are two true professional passions. I couldn’t do just one or the other. I feed off strategic variety and market exploration — but I also need the concreteness, the action, and the satisfaction of entrepreneurial execution. When Augustin Celier and I met 18 months ago, we immediately clicked on this shared mindset. This is, for both of us, the real dream job: "Partner at Hexa Scale". We’ve tried to capture that spirit in the article linked in the first comment.

💼 Family-backed companies ❤️ I’ve always believed in partnering with — or investing in — family-owned businesses. That’s where alignment runs deepest: everyone rows in the same direction to create stable, healthy, long-term value. Since founding Hexa with Thibaud, we’ve stayed true to that philosophy. Building Hexa is a marathon, not a sprint. Value creation compounds — brick by brick, reputation after reputation. It’s not always easy. Putting founders, partners, and investors first takes patience and conviction. But it’s the only way to build something that lasts. Today, we’re proud to welcome new family investors into Hexa — a company owned exclusively by long-term entrepreneurs and families. Among them: Sopra Steria (Yann Metz-Pasquier, Socheat Chhay, Clementine Grossetete, Tanguy Mulliez, @Miyasan Group, members of the Hennessy family, and Jean Maynier & François C. (Kpler) — as well as our historical shareholders who keep supporting us and reinvesting. Together, we’re accelerating toward our 2026 ambitions under Matthieu Gombeaud’s leadership: 👉 expanding our entrepreneurial platform based on our historical company-building activity 👉 scaling Hexa Scale, our new micro PE software activity. We announced a first deal Veevart earlier this year and are about to close another great acquisition. I'm proud to work with the best Augustin and Samuel and we'll launch a dedicated private equity fund for this activity. 👏 A special thanks to Alexis, our CFO, for managing our family and banking relationships with excellence together with a great team Timothé, Grégoire, Mathilde and Juliette. If you’d like to learn more about how we’re building a long-term, family-backed venture platform, the link’s in the comments — or reach out to Alexis, Arnaud, Thibaud, Amaury, Matthieu or myself.

Doing it our way — 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯. Hexa Scale is on 🔥 We started Hexa because Thibaud and I didn’t want to build 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 hands-on early-stage venture firm. We built Hexa the way we thought it 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be — and it became a pioneer in the studio model, helping make “startup studios” a true asset class, now embraced by hundreds of builders around the world. (ping Max Pog 👋) Today, with eFounders turned Hexa, we have a clear strategy and are once again executing it our way, under Matthieu's leadership. Hexa has evolved into a full-stack entrepreneurial platform built around three complementary pillars: ⚡ 𝐇𝐞𝐱𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 — from 0 to 1, our historical studio activity — led by Amaury 🚀 𝐇𝐞𝐱𝐚 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭 — from 1 to 10, accelerating early-stage startups — led by Thibaud 📈 𝐇𝐞𝐱𝐚 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 — from 10 to 100, scaling profitable SaaS businesses — led by yours truly >> Hexa Scale << In less than a year, we’ve completed two majority investments — proof that our unique model for scaling profitable software companies works. There’s a clear gap in the market for investors who combine 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 on smaller, proven assets. Many SaaS companies already generate €2–10M ARR — they’ve found product-market fit — but lack the operational firepower to unlock the next stage of growth. That’s where Hexa Scale comes in. 𝑾𝒆 𝒂𝒄𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒄𝒐-𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 : hands-on, product-driven, and growth-obsessed. Our in-house expertise in Product, Go-to-Market, and Talent helps founders build stronger, more resilient companies that last. Our second partnership: Filiz.io 🎓 We’re proud to announce our second partnership of the year — led by Augustin Celier and Samuel Boggio, working closely with Maxime and Aurélia at Filiz — to create a European champion in the education space that truly deserves it. After Yousign with Alban Sayag and Veevart with Antonio Velasco Echeverry, our “late co-founder” approach keeps getting sharper — creating tangible value for all parties involved. The opportunity ahead is immense 🗻🗻🗻 That’s why we’re now structuring an upcoming 𝑯𝒆𝒙𝒂 𝑺𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝑭𝒖𝒏𝒅 and building a growing network of Scale Partners to back more companies — while keeping the same hands-on DNA that defines us. This still feels like Day 1️⃣ — for Hexa Scale, for Hexa, and for the incredible team behind it 💪💪💪 If you’re interested in joining this next phase — as a partner or investor — check the links in the comments.

🚀 SWISH is live Yesterday, two brilliant founders from Hexa Start officially launched Swish Big milestone 👏 - They’re backed daily by Matthieu Vaxelaire, Quentin Le Gall, Victor Gross, Meghan Regior — and the whole Hexa team 💪 Every product tracks tons of user data (often via tools like PostHog). The problem isn’t data — it’s acting on it in time. With AI and agentic software, that changes 🤖 As Nicolo puts it: “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘐 𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘦𝘯𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘧 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘦.” 👉 Swish closes that gap — turning product signals into real-time action. Nicolò Magnante and Arseniy Shishaev are heading to San Francisco for the next few months 🇺🇸 - The right move, at the right time. Wishing them massive success 🚀

Led by Laurens De Poorter, on a mission, four years ago, a group of 🇧🇪 entrepreneurs came together around a simple but powerful idea: 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘦𝘭𝘨𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩 𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 Today, I’m proud to stand alongside 120+ founders, operators, and investors backing the €22M oversubscribed first close of Syndicate One’s new fund. What makes this fund different is its flywheel effect: founders reinvesting not only capital, but also experience, networks, and ambition back into the ecosystem. That’s how enduring tech hubs are built. In just four years, two early investments, Aikido Security and Fundamental, have already reached unicorn status. But this is about more than individual wins. It’s about strengthening Belgium’s tech community to create the conditions for many more global champions to emerge. Proud to support the next generation of builders. The flywheel is turning and we’re only at the beginning.

6 months ago, the Hexa book "The 10× Method" came out. It was a massive, unexpected success. 📘 I love telling the best European founders that they don’t need Hexa to build their next entrepreneurial story. You don’t need Hexa to start a company. 𝑼𝒏𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 10× 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒅𝒅𝒔. This is our deep conviction: Europe has world-class founders. What they need is world-class leverage. 🇪🇺 With AI, it’s never been easier to validate ideas and ship product. That gives founders more leverage — and more choices. 𝘞𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘏𝘦𝘹𝘢 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘣𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘰-𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥. That’s why we’ve updated our Hexa Start deal: we’re moving from 30% to 25% post-seed equity, with the same level of support — on more founder-friendly terms. In return, Hexa offers something truly unique on the market. No other structure combines this level of support with a comparable track record. With Hexa, founders get: 💡 A highly ambitious idea, validated by the most experienced partners 🤝 A top-tier cofounder, matched to your calibre and ambition 💸 12 months of costs covered, so you can focus fully on building 🛠️ A squad of experts to build the product and help land great customers 🌉 3 months in San Francisco, plugged into one of the world’s best ecosystems 🚀 A fast track to a seed round, with support to raise at above-average valuations We aim to build truly global and ambitious projects. We’ve already done it — helping build three billion-dollar companies (Aircall, Spendesk, Front) — and many more are coming 😍😍 You give up a bit more equity early. In return, you massively increase your chances of building a much bigger company. 👉 More details on the new Hexa Start deal in the first comment.

Tres fier de Laure et ce projet !
