Hexa Sprint
Hexa·France
500,000 euros as your first cheque, split across two convertible notes, for pre-seed teams that already have an idea and fit one of Hexa's verticals.
What you get
“We offer 500k euros through 2 instruments: a 20k euro convertible note (BSA Air or SAFE) in exchange for 4% of your company, and a 480k euro convertible note with MFN provisions and a cap at 8M euros.”
Can you apply
We look for founding teams at the pre-seed stage - we want to be one of their first investment checks, if not the first. The project must also align with one of our vertical themes. Hexa Sprint is for founding teams who already have an idea and are looking for their first check, typically at the pre-seed stage.
When
Always open, applications reviewed on a rolling basis.
What Hexa funds
The Paris studio formerly called eFounders, behind Front, Aircall and Spendesk. It is the rare studio that publishes its whole deal: Hexa Start hands you an idea, a co-founder and 700,000 euros for a third of the company, and Hexa Sprint writes a 500,000 euro first cheque to teams that already have one.
Everything Hexa funds →Details
The money comes as a 20,000 euro convertible note for 4% of the company plus a 480,000 euro convertible note with MFN provisions and an 8M euro cap. Hexa's own worked example: if your first round after Sprint prices above 8M euros, the 500,000 euros ends up buying about 10%. You join a sector vertical led by a dedicated partner alongside a cohort building in the same space. Verticals published at the time of reading include AI for work and energy resilience. Unlike Hexa Start, the idea and the team are yours.
