Growth operators.
On the ground.

Hack40 is founded and led by entrepreneurs, not consultants: a team that masters new business models, startup culture, and the latest technologies and ways of working from the inside, because we’ve practiced them, not just studied them.

We draw on a network of 300 experts and entrepreneurs active across Europe, Asia and the Americas for over ten years. That presence lets us translate a global strategy into concrete value in each market, giving local teams best practices and the freedom to choose the most effective tactic given their real constraints of time and resources.

Post-Series A or B, every startup’s ambition is to clear the international scale hurdle. But growth and GTM teams have rarely lived through it, and often have to learn it on the fly. Hack40’s operators have already been through it: they help choose the right market, build the right operating model, and open up an established network of partners and prospects, to secure the first PoCs and first client contracts, not just introductions.

Scaling puts company culture, technical architecture and the product itself under strain, often all at once. The startups that make it through surround themselves early with operators who’ve already managed that strain, to absorb growth without breaking what made them strong in the first place.

On the corporate side, we plug into four types of programs: growth-focused business programs (new products, services, sustainability), Learning and Leadership programs, innovation and open innovation programs, and programs led by IT. For IT in particular, we help turn an already-deployed platform, AI or otherwise, into use cases genuinely adopted by business teams: IT owns the technology, we bring the business traction that’s often missing to keep it alive beyond the partnership announcement. On the startup side, we work with public agencies, VCs, or directly with founders, on programs tailored to each vertical.
