We know starting a startup isn't easy. That's why we help founders navigate the early stages of building and growing a new business - from guidance and feedback to coaching and connections, we have you covered.
No one does anything challenging alone. Definitely not building a startup. You need the rightpeoplearound you if you're going to make it.
Top tier accelerators and venture studios have figured this out and offer coaching, connections and resources. But far too many early-stage founders are going on the journey by themselves.
Day One solves that, with a high-touch support system designed for early stage founders. We know what early stage founders need because we've been there.
We built Day One to be exactly what we wished we had, and now that support is available to everyone.
