The ex90 Story
ex90 started with a shared belief:
That the best ideas deserve the best people — and those people deserve a stake in what they build.
Its founders — an IT Director and a Product Director who have spent several years working with startups — saw a pattern: founders in need of help and talented people with time. But there was no simple, fair, or modern way to turn contribution into ownership.
What if there were?
What if anyone could contribute time, skills, or strategy to an early-stage idea and instantly earn micro equity — without cap table headaches or legal friction?
That question became ex90: a new way to build, together.
A place where execution matters, and everyone who contributes owns a piece of the journey.
ex90 is for builders. For believers. For making ideas real.
