Amidst the cobblestone streets and the buzzing tech scene of Paris, Hexa, previously known as eFounders, is rolling out the red carpet for its latest ensemble of startups. This eclectic mix—spanning from savvy enterprise SaaS to a pioneering blockchain data startup—is redefining the future of work and beyond.
Hexa’s evolution from a SaaS-focused incubator to a multifaceted startup studio is a tale of adaptability and foresight. Its alumni, such as Front, Spendesk, and Aircall, exemplify innovation. As Hexa expands, it diversifies its horizons, now sheltering eFounders for workplace tech, 3founders for Web3 ventures, and Logic Founders for fintech innovations.
Having launched over 40 startups in the last decade, Hexa has sculpted a landscape where its ventures have collectively attained valuations cresting $5 billion. However, it’s not just about starting up; it’s about stirring up the right mix of ideas, people, and relentless iteration. In its nurturing cocoon, Hexa offers a year’s worth of wisdom on product design, market strategies, hiring, and fundraising, before these fledglings spread their wings in the seed funding sky.
With a solid 30% stake post-seed investment, Hexa—guided by co-founder and CEO Thibaud Elziere—allocates a slice of this equity pie to the studio’s founder, ensuring everyone has skin in the game.
Let’s peek into Hexa’s latest trailblazers:
Riverflow: The Blockchain Data Maestro
Conceived within Hexa’s Web3 studio, 3founders, Riverflow is an orchestration wizard for blockchain data. It’s on a mission to simplify how data analysts harvest and harness data from smart contracts, transactions, and wallets, funneling it all seamlessly into data warehouses and analytics tools. Think of it as the Segment for blockchain, promising to democratize access to this gold mine of information.

Tengo: The French Public Tender Aggregator
Tengo steps into the limelight as a beacon for French companies navigating the maze of public tenders. It’s not just about alerts; it’s about leveraging AI to craft compelling responses to both public and private tenders, a must-have for firms whose lifelines are intertwined with government contracts.
And the story doesn’t end here. Hexa is already simmering two more projects, TopiX and GPTX, mobile-first and AI-powered tools respectively, currently awaiting the perfect founders to bring them to life.
Hexa’s ongoing quest is a testament to the transformative power of tech incubators in the ever-evolving startup landscape. Each new batch of startups is a fresh wave of innovation, destined to disrupt industries and redefine how we work and interact with technology.
