Madwire Built a Marketing Department Small Businesses Can Rent

Exly
Exly is an all-in-one business platform for coaches, trainers, consultants and creators to launch, sell and manage knowledge products - courses, webinars, workshops, e-communities and 1:1 consultations. Spun out of the YC W19-backed startup MyScoot, the Delhi-based company gives solo experts a no-code website, built-in CRM, payment collection and marketing tools so they can run the business side of their practice without stitching together five different apps.

Founded in 2018 by former McKinsey consultant Moncef Chlouchi, the company reports a user base in the millions across 10-plus countries and has raised roughly $14M from investors including Partech, Al Mada Ventures, CDG Invest and FJ Labs.
