Platform for creators to run and grow knowledge businesses

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

Exly is an all-in-one platform for knowledge creators - coaches, trainers, and creators - to launch, manage, and market their products like courses, webinars, online communities, one-on-one consultations, and workshops. Our product combines tools for content delivery, customer management, and marketing in one place so creators don't have to juggle multiple platforms.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We currently live in New Delhi, India, and plan to keep Exly based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New Delhi is home to our team and core user base. The city's growing creator economy means we are close to our customers and can iterate based on direct feedback. We want to keep building deep local relevance where demand for such a platform is strong.
