Investment thesis
Hexa operates a startup-building program (3founders) where it identifies specific market opportunities and recruits founders to build companies against them. Highlighted ideas span AI-driven developer tooling (e.g. testing/CI for AI-generated code), analytics into how consumers and businesses interact with LLMs, bridging physical AI/VLA and world models to vertical industry use cases, software to help EU manufacturers reclaim customs duties via schemes like inward processing, and compliance tools for new EU gender pay gap reporting laws. The emphasis is on technical teams tackling emerging AI and regulatory-driven software opportunities.
