We are today recognized as one of the best venture studios in the world, with a track record comparable to tier-1 VC funds.\nWe have created 60+ companies (including 3 unicorns) with a combined valuation of over $5 billion among them Aircall, Spendesk, Front, Swan and Yousign. We are passionate about B2B software, particularly AI-native and agentic SaaS, fintech, climate tech, defense tech and healthtech.\nHexa is in full growth mode, with three early-stage activities: our Ventures programs Hexa Start and Hexa Sprint which help entrepreneurs go from zero to one, and a PE program, Hexa Scale, which takes majority stakes in existing startups and pushes them to new thresholds.\nHexa Scale\nToday, successful software companies have two ways to support and finance their growth: the VC path, and the self-financed profitable path. For software companies that can’t or do not want to bootstrap, but haven’t managed to stay permanently on hyper-growth, the VC path is a dead-end.\nAt Hexa Scale, we’re on a mission to solve this: offer a new alternative to fund and scale software companies towards exponential growth.\nWe believe that there are great software companies, still early stages in the 2-10m€ ARR range, that sit on amazing markets with a great product, but that require a few changes to unlock their potential.\nWe believe that by providing them with capital and strong operational leverage, we can put them on the right trajectory, towards category-leading exponential growth. Our full manifesto.\nYour role is to help us find, select, invest in, and drive those companies.\nMission\nYou'll join a team of four (Quentin, Augustin, Thibault and Samuel). You’ll participate in the complete deal-flow cycle in order to make 2 or 3 successful deals a year.\nWhat you'll do\nInbound deal flow\nContribute to our inbound engine and marketing initiatives: white papers, blog posts, campaigns and founder community events.\n\nScreen every inbound lead and make sure founders hear back from us within hours.\n\nOutbound deal flow\nBuild and maintain our AI-powered sourcing stack: company database, internal AI tools, data scraping and outreach sequences.\n\nQualify sourced companies and run outreach with a strong response rate, so that new opportunities come in every week.\n\nDrive sourcing across the team, making sure everyone is accountable for pipeline volume.\n\nMarket research\nPerform deep-dives on the sectors we prioritize: players, products, competitive dynamics, funding and exit landscape, customer value and GTM models.\n\nSource and run calls with market experts outside our network, at scale.\n\nDeal analysis & execution\nAnalyze targets in depth: business model, product, team, growth engine and business plan.\n\nBuild our own version of the business plan and financial model with the team to stress-test key assumptions and risks.\n\nWrite investment memos and present to the investment committee.\n\nAnalyze cap tables and contribute to deal structuring and term negotiation.\n\nPortfolio & value creation\nMonitor portfolio KPIs and track the progress of each transformation plan.\n\nSupport founders on ad-hoc value-creation projects (pricing, GTM, M&A).\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nExperience\n2-3 years in VC, growth equity, small-cap PE, tech M&A, or a comparable analytical role (strategy consulting, IB).\n\nAI fluent - You’re at home with tools like Claude Code, Cowork, or OpenAI Codex, and you enjoy building your own AI applications to solve real-world problems\n\nStrong financial modeling skills and a solid grasp of SaaS metrics.\n\nFluent in English and French.
