“Revolutionizing Banking: Hyperplane’s Mission to Implement AI”

The general idea here is to help banks use their first-party data to build personalized experiences by predicting user behavior. The company is already working with about a dozen banks in Brazil and has not set its sights on expanding to the U.S. as well. And while Hyperplane is currently solely focused on the world of banking, over time, the team plans to bring its technology to other verticals, too. At its core, Hyperplane provides these banks with the APIs to build these personalization models on the fly. “The Hyperplane Cloud can scale across markets with little effort, and we”ll soon announce our first partnerships in the U.S.”

Hexa startup studio seeks to forge partnerships with startups experiencing inadequate growth

Just a couple of weeks after announcing $22 million in fundraising, Paris-based startup studio Hexa is expanding beyond its studio model to partner with later stage companies that have already found product-market fit. In 2012, Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham wrote an essay called ’Startup = Growth’. According to him, instead of growing revenue by a certain amount, startup founders should focus on a target growth rate and reach that target. Another reason why focusing on a growth rate can be helpful is that a company grows exponentially if it can maintain the same growth rate over time. While Hexa is better known as the startup studio that spawned some successful B2B SaaS startups like Front, Aircall and Spendesk, this isn’t the first time Hexa is looking at later stage companies.
