This December, for the first time in 15 years, we're opening Demo Time to investors. Every quarter, the founders building inside the studio pitch to each other. Over 50 editions, Aircall, Front, Spendesk, Swan, and Roundtable all stood in that room long before anyone outside Hexa knew their names. 24 companies are building inside Hexa right now, across our Start program and our three Sprint cohorts: climate, defense, and AI. On September 16, 18 startups pitched. It was the last time that room stayed closed. "Demo Time has always been our best-kept secret, the room where fifteen years of Hexa's biggest bets first found their nerve. Fifty editions in, this December, for the first time, we're letting a select few investors into that room." — Thibaud Elziere, Co-founder of Hexa "Aircall, Front, Swan — we've spent 15 years finding France's most ambitious companies. Today, our conviction in European founders, and in how we build with them, is stronger than ever. We're finally giving a select group of investors the chance to meet the next breakout companies, extremely early in their journeys." — Matthieu Gombeaud, CEO of Hexa Want a front-row seat?

Hexa WTF Studio is having a very strong 2026. Our first two babies (Waniwani and another still under the radar/water) are creating categories of their own and growing revenue fast. They both closed a seed with top-tier VCs 5 months after inception. Was it pure luck? ...Next year will tell. And we need exceptional & hungry talent to join the team. At Walking The Frontier (WTF Studio) we are building in Physical AI, AI Fintech, Defense and Infra. We are hiring a Chief of Staff / GTM to join us in SF or Paris. Come build real companies, grow revenue, and repeat 🔁 https://lnkd.in/e-hpYhKm

Thibault Jaigu spent five years at Amplitude learning that you can't improve what you don't measure. So when he set out to build Requesty, the plan was a product-analytics layer for LLMs, a way to score AI output quality over time. What he actually built, almost by accident, was an AI gateway. The routing and auth layer he needed just to ship the real product: the one he and his co-founder had sunk hundreds of unpaid hours into before realizing every other team building with AI needed it too. In the new episode of the PMF Collector, Thibault tells our Partner Matthieu Vaxelaire how a whiteboard tally of wasted hours turned into the actual business. 🎧 Full episode below.

Eno is launching with a bold goal: build 131 industry-specific software products, each led by its own entrepreneur, on one shared platform. To build Eno Catering, the team spoke with 160+ industry professionals, designed the product with partner caterers, and brought it to market across Europe. An incoming customer email now automatically triggers a quote using the caterer's own catalogue, prices and history. Building on that initial validation, founders Gauthier Rodaro and Basile Cassiers and their team are set to scale the playbook everywhere: software that doesn't just support the work, but does part of it for you. Six more industries are already in development with design partners: law firms, members' clubs, certification agencies, vineyards, private chefs, and event production. Rather than rebuild each vertical from scratch, Eno is building shared infrastructure and handing each industry to a dedicated cofounder: their product, their customers, their business development, backed by Eno's shared technology and team. Eno already has a team of fifteen selling in France, Belgium, and the UK, with ambitions to go global. As our founder Thibaud Elziere puts it: "For twenty years, SaaS has pushed businesses to adapt the way they work to software. AI finally makes the reverse possible: software that's highly specific to each industry." Eno is now looking for entrepreneurs to lead these industry products, and businesses willing to help shape the software for their sector.
