Plan your safe transition
from employment to self-employment

Side Exit helps you understand when it's safe to leave your job and what you need to do between now and then. A calm, explainable planning tool—not financial advice.

Welcome đź‘‹

This is an early pilot for people who are thinking about building something on the side, for themselves - but want to do it safely and sensibly.

Not rushing, not quitting, and not taking risks you can’t afford.

We’ve designed this as a journey:

Side Exit

Side Exit: helps you slow things down, understand your situation, and work out what a safe path forward could look like.

Side Founder

Side Founder: is there when you’re ready, to help shape ideas and turn them into something real — from simple pages to bigger builds, only if and when you need them.

Side Investor

Side Investor: comes much later, once there’s proof and progress, to help open doors to growth and capital responsibly.

You don’t have to do everything. Most people won’t. This is about clarity first, confidence second, and action only when it makes sense.

Thanks for being part of this early pilot - your feedback will help shape what this becomes.

Let’s take this one step at a time.

How Side Exit helps you

A simple, trustworthy tool for planning your transition

Exit ready score

Understand your financial readiness with a clear, explainable score based on runway, income coverage, and risk factors.

Transition Planning

Create a 6-12 month plan with monthly targets for income, savings, and progress toward your exit date.

Income Tracking

Track your side income entries manually to see how your coverage improves over time.

Where Side Exit fits

You might be here because you're already thinking about building something on the side, or because you're starting to take your situation a little more seriously. Side Exit is the calm starting point on that path.

Side Exit

Slow things down, understand your runway, and work out what a safe path forward could look like.

Side Founder

When you're ready, turn ideas into something concrete: simple pages, prototypes, and first versions you can show to real people.

Go to Side Founder

Side Funding

Much later, once there's proof and progress, explore thoughtful, responsible ways to fund what you've built.

Go to Side Funding

This is deliberately early and unfinished. The details, tools, and examples will grow over time. For now, think of Side Exit as a quiet, clear space reserved for the first part of your journey.

What Side Exit is not

We're clear about what we do—and what we don't

Not financial advice

We provide planning tools and suggestions, not advice. Always consult qualified professionals for financial decisions.

Not a prediction engine

We help you plan based on your assumptions, not predict future outcomes or guarantee success.

Not a hustle app

We focus on safe, thoughtful transitions—not pushing you to make risky moves.

Not banking or accounting

We don't connect to your bank accounts or handle transactions. You control all your data.
