EXIT is a fraternity of like-minded men who are taking a short position in the present system and building for what comes next.
Short the system.
The academic, economic, and cultural institutions that our ancestors built have become hostile to competence and are in terminal decline.
It is no longer possible to reform these systems from inside — not until we have built substantial leverage on the outside. Voice is useless without the freedom to Exit.
To create that freedom, we form alternative institutions: new businesses, new schools, new communities, new markets, and new guards for our future security.
As the old regime hemorrhages talent, we bring that talent together, and build things that will thrive amid volatility and decay.
Work with your friends.
Bonds of friendship and personal loyalty are illegible to our enemies. They can’t be taxed, regulated, monetized, or quantified on a corporate balance sheet.
That’s why our enemies have continually subverted or abolished such bonds: fraternities, benevolent societies, tribes, religions — and, above all, the family.
By reducing all human life to a series of impersonal transactions, these procedural systems have gained unprecedented power to monitor and control human activity.
Strong friendships will define what comes next. Freedom can only be restored on terms of human judgment, trust, and personal loyalty. We work with our friends.
Build for grandchildren.
The stakes are existential. If we fail to give our children compelling alternatives to careerism, consumption, and sterility, everything we care about will die out.
We must build the means to get our children educated, employed, married, and supporting families of their own.
We must be bold and aspirational in our own lives, to establish a legacy that our children will want to improve upon.
We believe there is nothing inevitable about losing our children. We are determined to build across generations, and think in centuries.

How we do it:
Find the right people.
What we need is much more than a job board. You don’t build an empire with a guy just because he flies the same flag as you.

Daily Project Calls
In the daily project calls, members set goals and take accountability, learning from success and failure.
If you’re not sure exactly what to build, we run experiments from week to week until we find something you find compelling.
If you’ve already got a project, we keep you on track, connect you with the expert advice and resources you need, and help you identify partners.
EXIT isn’t just about business; we also have expert fitness coaching, a machine learning boot camp, a content creation group, and a homeschool group.
