7 early stage startups to watch in 2014
Exposure
We got in touch with one of Exposure’s creators, Kyle Bragger.
What is Exposure and who’s it for?
“Exposure is a tool designed to help you create beautiful photo narratives — that is, to tell a story through sets of photos and written word. We started out by targeting different groups of photographers, from hobbyists to semi-pros, all the way to full-time professionals. As we’ve grown, though, we’ve definitely noticed that our most active users tend to be somewhere in the highly skilled hobbyist to semi-pro realm.”
How is it different to your competitors?
“Aside from a clear, up-front business model, our singular goal was to give users the absolute best photo narrative builder around. Using Exposure means your photography looks great no matter the device or screen size. In other words, we make it effortless to tell a great story.”
How big is your team and how have you funded the project so far?
“The team right now is Luke Beard, myself, and Luke Crawford. We’re incubated at a company called Elepath, which took a little funding a few years ago and is the brainchild of Jake Lodwick, creator of Vimeo. Our mission is to fill the world with great software. To us, that means releasing well-designed, thoughtful, and sustainable products which make their users’ lives better.”
What stage are you at now with the launch?
“We launched to the world in December 2013 and are now happily on our way to profitability. Prior to that, we ran a private beta for a few months with about 150 photographers.”
