About Exostar

Exostar provides a secure business collaboration platform tailored for highly regulated industries such as aerospace and defense, life sciences, and healthcare. Founded in 2000 by major defense contractors including Boeing, Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin, the company was established to address common, complex security and collaboration challenges within the Defense Industrial Base. Over the years, Exostar has expanded its services to become a key provider of identity and access management (IAM) and supply chain management solutions. In September 2023, the company was acquired by Arlington Capital Partners.

The company's core business revolves around its cloud-based platform, which enables secure collaboration, information sharing, and risk management across complex partner and supplier ecosystems. Its business model is primarily subscription-based, with fees determined by the level of usage, including the number of transactions and purchase order value processed through the platform. Exostar serves a global client base, with over 200,000 organizations in 175 countries using its platform. Clients range from large prime contractors and pharmaceutical companies to their extensive networks of suppliers and clinical research sites.
