Hexa

Rose is a startup launched by Hexa, the Paris-based startup studio founded in 2011 that has created over 40 companies including Front, Aircall, Spendesk, and Swan (3 unicorns, +$700M raised, portfolio valuation >$5B).

With €29M in funding finalized in 2025 and the goal to launch 30 startups per year by 2030, Hexa offers a unique environment: shared resources, expert network, and an ecosystem of hundreds of engineers and founders.

Rose in a nutshell

The problem: 85% of B2B website visitors leave without interaction. Meanwhile, they use ChatGPT and Perplexity to compare solutions before even contacting you.

Our mission: Transform B2B websites into intelligent conversational assistants that engage 100% of traffic, capture quality zero-party data, and increase demo conversions.

Our approach: Unlike traditional chatbots (~5% engagement), Rose achieves 20%+ engagement through an integrated assistant experience, not an intrusive popup.

Our clients: Pennylane, Mayday, AB Tasty are already using Rose in production.
