$ the problems we all have
- 01 98% of side projects die before they ship anything.
- 02 Good devs won't risk weekends on half-baked ideas.
- 03 Vibe coders get matched into serious builds they can't carry.
- 04 Founders post their idea publicly and watch it get stolen.
- 05 NDAs are paper nobody enforces — and devs know it.
- 06 CVs lie. LinkedIn lies. Code doesn't.
- 07 "Let's grab coffee and chat" is not a hiring funnel.
- 08 Trust takes months to build; side projects die in weeks.
- 09 Equity splits get fought over before there's anything to split.
- 10 Cross-border teams = six lawyers, zero progress.
- 11 The wrong dev joins, learns the idea, ships a competitor.
- 12 Founders pick on vibes, devs join on vibes, projects die in the gap.
- 13 Tier 3 and tier 8 look identical on a one-page resume.
- 14 Standard contracts are heavy enough to kill a project before it starts.
- 15 Most teams form wrong, ship nothing, leave everyone bitter.
$ this is the way
EXITR is one CLI, one interview, and one contract — and the contract only fires when you actually win.
→ for founders
Post your project. Full spec stays sealed. Devs only see a public brief — enough to evaluate fit, not enough to clone.
→ for devs
Three minutes in your terminal. AI interview reads your GitHub history. You get tier 1–10, transparent reasoning, and pings only for projects that fit.
→ the contract
One-click contingent assignment at team formation. IP and revenue rights held in escrow by HEIMLANDR. Activates only on objective success — Stripe revenue, priced round, or signed LOI.
→ when it dies
Project goes dormant. Agreement expires. No legal weight on the 98% that never ship. You keep your code, your tier, and your time.

$ why exitr exists
Good devs won't waste time on bad ideas. Vibe coders won't get pinged about serious builds. The ladder filters everyone.
Of devs who get pinged in launch month, what % accept? Above 30% = real. Below 10% = broken. We track from day one.
Every founder we know has lost a project to the wrong team. Every dev we know has wasted a weekend on a project that was never going to ship. The tier ladder isn't gatekeeping — it's a translator. Tier 8 stops getting pinged about no-code MVPs. Tier 2 stops getting pinged about distributed-systems rebuilds. Both win. The escrow isn't bureaucracy — it's the only thing that lets strangers actually trust each other inside a 14-day window.
