Founding Associate - Hexa Sprint Program

ABOUT HEXA SPRINT Hexa Sprint is building a new kind of accelerator. No batches. No generic support. A partner-led, ultra hands-on model, designed to give startups 10x more chances to succeed. Each partner runs a vertical and works deeply with a small number of companies. - Defense: Guillaume Lerouge https://www.hexa.com/team/guillaume-lerouge, - Energy Resilience: Maxime Brousse https://www.hexa.com/team/maxime-brousse, - AI for Work: Thibaud Elzière https://www.hexa.com/team/thibaud-elziere. Our ambition: become the largest accelerator in Europe, without ever diluting quality. To get there, we need a new kind of role. THE ROLE We are looking for a founding Hexa Sprint Associate. t's a hybrid role at the intersection of Product, AI and Venture, designed to give Hexa Sprint the leverage it needs to scale. You will work directly with the partners and have 3 core missions. Mission 1: Build the Sprint OS (Agentic Layer) You'll design and build the internal infrastructure and the AI agents that power the entire accelerator: - Partner OS (Vertical Engine): help any partner structure and launch a new vertical, run fundraising (pipeline, follow-ups, materials), build visibility, and manage their 12 startups. - Startup OS (6-month orchestration engine): onboard every startup, structure their 6-month journey, track progress, suggest next best actions, automate reporting. - Agent Layer: build internal agents that reduce admin to near-zero, assist partners in real time, support founders with targeted insights, and automate repetitive workflows. You'll experiment with OpenAI, Anthropic, APIs, no-code tools and custom workflows. 👉 Goal: make every partner 10x more effective and make Sprint scalable by design. Mission 2: Support the Partners You are the partners' right hand on everything that isn't "founder time". - Dealflow : sourcing, qualification, pipeline management. - Operations : running the machine day-to-day. - Fundraising : supporting partners on LP pipeline, materials, follow-ups. - Startup support : plugging into portfolio companies when needed (fundraising prep, GTM, hiring, ops). - Build the community : events, content. 👉 Goal: partners spend 90% of their time with founders. You handle the rest. PROFILE We're looking for a very specific type of person, and we care more about what you've built than your CV. Experience - 3–5 years of experience. - Either: Engineer with a finance / VC background, or Business profile with a strong product / tech background. - Deeply comfortable with AI: you already use it daily, build with it, and have strong intuitions about agents and automation. Mindset - Builder — you like building systems more than making slides. You've already automated things for yourself. - Technically curious — comfortable with APIs, agents, LLMs, no-code. You don't need to be a senior engineer, but you can build. - Business sense — you understand startups, fundraising, ambition. You can translate messy reality into structured systems. - Structured thinker — you simplify complexity and design frameworks that scale. - Leverage-obsessed — you hate inefficiency. You do more with less. WHY THIS ROLE IS UNIQUE - You won't join a team → you'll define a function. - You'll work directly with the partners. - You'll shape how dozens of startups are built across Europe every year. - You'll build the agentic backbone of the largest accelerator in Europe. This is a founding role inside the machine. WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE (6–12 MONTHS) - A partner can launch a new vertical 2x faster. - 80% of repetitive ops are automated by agents. - Every startup follows a clear, dynamic Sprint journey. - Partners spend 90% of their time with founders. - The European Sprint community becomes a real magnet for top founders. WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU: - Package: €67K to €75K gross/year (base salary of €56K–€63K + 20% annual profit sharing) - Opportunity to invest in Hexa portfolio startups at a (very) preferential rate - Swile meal card - 8 to 12 RTT days per year - Flexible remote work policy - Mobility budget: €500/year for green transportation (bike, metro, electric scooter) - Health insurance with 50% coverage for you and your family - 1% Holiday bonus - MacBook laptop
