Founding Associate - Hexa Sprint Program

Job Description

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.

Our ambition is to 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.

It'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 three core missions.

Mission 1: Build the Sprint OS (Agentic Layer)

• 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.

Goal: make every partner 10x more effective and make Sprint scalable by design.

Mission 2: Support the Partners

• 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).

Goal: partners spend 90% of their time with founders.

Mission 3: Develop the Sprint Program

• Build and animate the European Sprint community (founders, partners, alumni, experts).
• Own program visibility: content, events, narrative, PR moments.
• Turn every vertical launch into a signal for the ecosystem.
• Attract the best European founders to Sprint.

Goal: when a top European founder thinks "accelerator", they think Hexa Sprint.

Why This Role Is Unique

You won't join a team—you'll define a function.

You will work directly with the partners.

You will shape how dozens of startups are built across Europe every year.

You will 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.

Preferred Experience

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.

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
• 8 to 12 RTT days per year
• Mobility budget: €500/year for green transportation (bike, metro, electric scooter)
• Health insurance with 50% coverage for you and your family
