* Founding Expertise Partners

Before commercial launch, ExEx will recruit and verify at least 1,000 Founding Expertise Partners, providing the breadth of expertise necessary to make the platform valuable from its first day of operation.

Founding Expertise Partners will not be asked to pay for joining a platform that has yet to demonstrate its commercial value. They will receive complimentary membership for the first twelve months following commercial launch, recognition as an early participant and a preferential membership rate for a defined period thereafter.

In return, they will be expected to complete the ExEx verification and onboarding process, maintain an accurate professional profile, respond appropriately to suitable opportunities and contribute constructive feedback during the platform’s development.
