Pynn AI has announced the acquisition of Helixon and the appointment of Marc Mirada as Head of Growth & Strategic Partnerships, reinforcing its mission to become the intelligence layer for early-stage venture capital.
Pynn and the Max Ventures group recently joined forces with Helixon in a strategic move that reflects a shared ambition: to make early-stage investing more structured, transparent and effective across the ecosystem.
Marc Mirada began developing the Helixon concept in 2025 with a clear purpose — to make early-stage venture capital work better. Better for founders seeking to clearly articulate their vision. Better for investors trying to identify real potential among hundreds of opportunities. And better for the ecosystem as a whole.
During Helixon’s validation phase, Marc engaged in numerous conversations across the startup landscape, including with Patrick Visser and David Franzen of Pynn. It quickly became apparent that both sides were addressing the same structural challenges and working toward a similar long-term vision.
By combining Marc’s industry insight with Pynn’s existing AI-powered infrastructure, the integration emerged as a natural next step. The alignment was organic and rooted in shared principles:
Pynn’s platform supports investors, accelerators and innovation programs in assessing startups with greater structure and clarity, while providing founders with a smarter and more organized way to present their companies beyond traditional pitch materials.
Marc brings experience from both sides of the investment table. He understands the uncertainty founders face when raising capital and the complexity investors encounter when evaluating early-stage companies fairly and efficiently. In his new role, he will lead Growth & Strategic Partnerships, focusing on expanding Pynn’s ecosystem reach and deepening strategic collaborations.
This acquisition signals more than collaboration — it represents a clear statement of intent. Pynn believes the future of early-stage investing will be increasingly data-driven, structured and accessible. While AI enables this shift, meaningful impact is driven by people and partnerships.
With this integration, Pynn strengthens its position as a trusted partner for founders, investors and innovation communities worldwide
