Cumulative ARR

The Origin

We can't live with average people

Those who sacrifice their whole life, family, energy, and time to solve a problem don't live an average life.

We need to surround ourselves with outliers

People who share the same struggle, reject selfishness entirely, and share everything they have into their tribe.

We need to collaborate to grow together

Not to be selfish and pull each other down.

We believe in collective growth.

That's why we built Exposure.

Who We're For

If you are nonlinear

You always believed there is another correct solution to every problem. Even when others didn't see it, you still tried.

If you believe in collective growth

Rather than individual.

If your motto in life is to become better like others

Instead of pulling others down.

If you are (or want to be) a founder

Not because of financial returns, but because your inner compass tells you to solve this f*king problem.

Come apply.

In just 1.5 years we found 50+ founders like you. Grew together, became close friends, and reached a collective ARR of $16M+.

Real story

Sezgin and the PatientDesk founders bonded in Exposure meetings. Sezgin joined them part-time first, then they got into Y Combinator, then he joined full-time as a Founding Engineer. Now all of them have moved to San Francisco from Europe.
