We're a pioneering, world-leading startup studio born in Europe, with a track record comparable to tier-1 VC funds: 60+ companies created (including 3 unicorns), among them Aircall, Spendesk, Front, Swan and Yousign. We're entering a special chapter. After 15 years building companies from scratch, Hexa is scaling: expanding our Ventures activity across Europe (Hexa Start and Hexa Sprint, taking entrepreneurs from zero to one) and growing Hexa Scale, our PE program that takes majority stakes in existing startups and pushes them to new thresholds. We're hiring a VP FInance and Investments to structure the financing strategy of the holding company and play a central role in Scale's deal-making. It's a StratCo seat internally and a key point of contact for our investors externally, at a moment when the shape of Hexa for the next years is being decided. The Mission You'll be a strategic partner to the CEO and the Hexa Partners, sitting at the intersection of finance and deal-making strategy. You'll drive the financing of the holding company, own the relationship with our shareholders, and bring analytical firepower to Scale's investment decisions (including a seat on the board of several portfolio companies). Think Swiss Army knife: equally at home in a financial model, a deal structuring conversation, an incentive mechanism, or a banking negotiation. ## What You'll Own I/ Financing & holding strategy - Define and execute the financing strategy at the holding level (debt, equity, hybrid instruments) - Manage the shareholder relationship: cap table structuring, capital operations, reporting - Manage banking relationships and the group's financial partners - Steer treasury and capital allocation across the three tracks - Build and maintain the group's reference financial models - Manage a small team handling Hexa FP&A, operational LP management and regulatory matters II/ Deal-making & investments (Scale) - Key contributor to Hexa Scale's investment decisions: due diligence analysis, BP, valuation, modeling - Challenge the structure of deals (majority acquisitions, term sheets, governance mechanisms) - Design incentive schemes (management packages, carried interest on the investment-team side, leaver provisions) - Sit on the board of a few portfolio companies ## About You - You've spent 6-8 years in finance, including at least 3-4 years in investment banking (M&A, leveraged finance) or in an investment fund (investment team / deal team). - You're just as comfortable building a financial model as you are structuring a deal, designing incentives, or negotiating with a bank. - You're analytical and a fast learner, able to quickly get up to speed on new and heterogeneous topics. - You thrive in a fast-paced, low-structure environment. - You take full ownership and think strategically, rather than waiting for a playbook. - You've spent enough time in the tech and startup ecosystem to know how it works and speak its language. - You're bilingual French / English. - You're based in Paris. ## About Hexa ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Hexa is a multi-stage startup studio that partners with founders to build, launch, and scale software companies from scratch. - **Entity Type**: Private (multi-stage startup studio; operates Start, Sprint, and Scale tracks) - **Headquarters**: Paris, France (12 rue Martel 75010) - **Founded**: 2011 - **Founders**: Not publicly listed as a single founder; built as a studio by a founding team. ## Core Business - Primary industry/industries: Venture Building / Startup Studio / Company Creation - Target customers: Aspiring and experienced entrepreneurs (B2B, B2C, Enterprise tech founders) - Mission or purpose statement: "To build alongside founders, not from the sidelines" – creating companies that leave a mark on the world by combining hands-on operational support with capital. ## Products & Services - **Hexa Start**: A 12-month, intensive program for entrepreneurs who want to build a company from scratch (often before they have a concrete idea). Hexa provides the idea, team, co-founder, and covers all costs until the company becomes independent. - **Hexa Sprint**: A 6-month program for founding teams who already have an idea and are looking for their first check (pre-seed). Offers €500k (€20k convertible note for 4% + €480k convertible note with MFN & cap at €8M). - **Hexa Scale**: A growth-stage program for post-product-market-fit companies ($1–10M ARR, 10–40% YoY growth). Hexa invests €5–20M per company, takes a majority stake, and provides hands-on operational support (GTM, product, AI strategy, international expansion, hiring) for 9–12 months. - **In-house Expertise**: 30+ experts in Product Design, Product Management, Engineering (via hired teams), GTM, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Legal, People & Talent, Comms & Brand, Community, and Investing. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Combined valuation of launched companies exceeds **$5 billion**. - **Key Metric**: **50+ companies launched**; **2,600+ employees** across portfolio companies; **12 exits**. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not explicitly listed on the site, but the studio itself acts as the primary investor and operator. Portfolio includes multiple billion-dollar companies (names not publicly listed in the provided data). - **Growth Signals**: Studio has been operating since 2011 and has scaled from 0 to 50+ companies. The addition of the Scale track indicates a pivot to later-stage growth. Receives ~1,000 founder applications per year, selecting ~12 founders (2 per project) annually for the Start track. ## Competitive Advantages - **Hands-on, not hands-off**: Unlike traditional accelerators or VCs, Hexa provides a full in-house team of operators (product, design, GTM, legal, finance) working alongside founders for 12 months (Start) or 9–12 months (Scale). - **Founder-friendly majority stake**: For Scale, Hexa takes a majority stake but claims to be "the world’s most founder-friendly majority investor" – founders remain in the driver's seat with active board support. - **Proven track record**: 50+ companies, $5B combined valuation, 12 exits, spanning 12+ years of SaaS expertise. - **End-to-end platform**: Covers the entire lifecycle from idea (Start) to pre-seed (Sprint) to growth (Scale) – rare in the startup studio space. - **Built-in network & resources**: Founders get immediate access to a team of 30+ experts, legal, finance, recruiting, and a community of other founders. ## Strategic Focus - **Scaling the Scale track**: The newer Hexa Scale program is a key growth driver, targeting profitable, capital-efficient B2B SaaS companies with $1–10M ARR. - **AI & embedded finance**: Hexa Scale explicitly helps companies with AI strategy and adding fintech/embedded finance capabilities. - **International expansion**: Helping portfolio companies expand into new geographies and verticals. - **Maintaining high selectivity**: Keeping the Start track highly curated (~12 founders/year) to ensure deep support and quality outcomes. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: "You'll never build alone" – the studio emphasizes deep collaboration, ambition, humility, and execution. The team is composed of entrepreneurs and expert operators. - **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Hexa is based in Paris. For the Start track, a presence at HQ is important to benefit from resources and mentorship. Sprint is remote-friendly but based in France/Europe for events. Scale is likely remote-friendly with in-person board/partner meetings. - **Perks & Engineering Culture**: No software engineers in the core team – each startup's product is built by engineers recruited specifically for that company. This means engineers get to join a funded startup with a built-in support system from day one. The studio provides legal, finance, recruiting, and strategic support so engineers can focus on product. - **Career Path**: Two kinds of roles: (1) the core team that builds the machine (partners, product managers, designers, GTM, finance, legal) and (2) founding hires inside the startups coming out of the studio. Either way, you're in "before it exists" – a high-risk, high-reward environment with significant ownership and impact. ## Sources 1. [hexa.com](https://www.hexa.com/) 2.
