Since launching in 2022, over 150 companies have joined our community—bringing a diverse range of insights, lessons, and connections you can tap into.
Get ahead by learning from those who’ve done it before. From building your first team to structuring a healthy cap table, our venture partners help you skip the guesswork.
We help you prepare for high-stakes moments—whether that’s pitching investors or launching your product—with feedback and support from experienced operators.
There’s so much more to look forward to if you join our community - we’re so excited to have you!
We support startup founders in their growth through the power of community and live in-person Exit Hours events. While we also provide education and funding, our unique proposition lies in fostering a collaborative environment where founders can thrive.
We prioritize genuine connections above all else. If you’re here just to grab information or funding, this isn’t the place for you.
We value brightness and intelligence, but we won’t tolerate impatience or negative attitudes.
A community only works if everyone is actively participating. We aim to provide enough value to keep everyone consistently engaged and contributing.

Exit Hours is a community for founders, builders, investors, operators, and startup enthusiasts who are actively working on ventures, supporting early-stage innovation, or just excited by all things startups. If you're serious about building, learning, and contributing, you're in the right place.
Members get access to private events, curated community discussions, early invites to gatherings, and opportunities to collaborate with other ambitious people in our network.
There’s no formal attendance requirement, but we encourage members to show up regularly, contribute thoughtfully, and support each other. The more you put in, the more you get out.
We host events primarily in the greater Orange County and Los Angeles area, with occasional meetups elsewhere. Members get early access to RSVP.
No. Most of our events are low-cost to attend thanks to our generous venue partners and sponsors. We may explore optional paid tiers or contributions in the future to support growth.
Members will receive early access to registration for new events before they're published online. After the early access period, you can find registration links on the event details pages here.
