I had a privilege of being invited to a press conference of Exist yesterday together with Migz, Gail, and Abe. I just learned about Exist on that day and was impressed that it was included in the Top 100 Companies in Asia given out by Red Herring Inc.

This means Red Herring thinks Exist is a rising star. So what do they have that the other startups don’t? A passionate and visionary leader named Winston Damarillo. Just to fill in who Winston Damarillo is, he is a serial entrepreneur who built Gluecode Software (he was the CEO) and later on was bought by IBM. Starting and leading a company is really not new to him.

During the course of the event, I’ve learned that they are active in the development of world class open source software such as Geronimo, Jetspeed, and Pluto. I’m not an avid JAVA fan myself but I know for a fact that people who are active in the development of open source have great skills and passion for their craft.

If you’re into open source, you’ll probably wonder why people who have day jobs doing software development stuff, go home, eat dinner and spend a couple more hours during the night and weekends developing more software and not being paid for it. Now imagine being able to tap into the expertise of these people and have them work for your software project. Would you think you’ll end up with great software? I think so.

Exist’s expertise includes J2EE technologies, platforms, and frameworks, XML, and any cutting edge JAVA technology.

They’ve also been giving back to the academe. It was mentioned that they had talks with De La Salle University, and Ateneo about programs or electives that students can take which enables students to be aware and knowledgeable on current mainstream technologies. Winston mentioned that if they can assist the academe to develop the same skills they teach to their employees, it would be better for the students and also for them as they can tap into these students once they graduate.
