👋 Hey everyone, Andrew here, co-founder and CEO of Day One. I couldn’t be more excited to announce the launch of TRACKS - the biggest update we’ve ever made to the Day One experience. Since we launched Day One at the beginning of the pandemic, we’ve helped over 300 founders navigate the world of entrepreneurship by combining a curated community with education that’s designed specifically to help founders build and launch new startups. Our small team has shown up every day to support founders. And we’re building Day One into a lasting institution that will do that for millions of entrepreneurs. We’ve helped Fellows launch over 150 companies of all shapes and sizes, and collectively raise over $25 million. Our fellows have gone on to join accelerators like Human Ventures, Visible Hands, and Techstars, raise money from top tier investors, and build real, sustainable businesses during difficult times. But it’s always day one over here at Day One, and we never stop improving, so I’m here to tell you about Tracks. Tracks take the best of Day One — a world-class curriculum, insights from experienced founders and investors, a tight-knit community, and access to partners — and makes the experience more valuable by honing in on the specific stage of a fellows' journey or sector that they're building in. Each track follows a six-to-eight week curriculum that will take Fellows deep into the stage or sector they choose. They'll learn through a mix of lectures, hands-on working sessions, and guest speakers. They'll meet regularly and make connections with a curated community of peers, while plugging into the broader Day One ecosystem. The first three Tracks that we are launching today are: 1️⃣ THE EXPLORE TRACK. If you’re not a founder (yet) but you want to learn, level up your entrepreneurial skills, meet founders, and explore business ideas, this track is for you. All types of entrepreneurs are encouraged to join.‍ 2️⃣ THE VALIDATION TRACK powered by Human Ventures, Antler, and Visible Hands. If you’re already building a company and want to leverage industry-best tools and methodologies, expand your network, and tap into new partnerships, this track is for you. The Validate Track is open to founders across every industry. 3️⃣ THE EDUCATION TRACK powered by 27V, Rethink Education, Pathway Ventures, and Edovate Capital. This is the first of many sector-based tracks. It is an intensive program for both educators who are exploring what it would look like to start their own business, as well as edtech founders who are in the early stages of building a new venture. Each track is filled with a structured curriculum, AMA sessions with experienced founders and investors, hands-on working sessions, a demo day to showcase your work, and much more. Join a cohort of peers and make serious progress together. Oh, and if you change tracks or graduate to the next stage of your journey, just jump into a new track. You get access to ALL programs as a member of the Day One Fellowship. The Education Track is our first sector-based track. We have also opened up the waitlists for our next set of sector-based tracks, which are specifically designed for founders within the following industries: 1. The Web3 Track 2. The Healthcare Track 3. The eCommerce Track If you are an aspiring or early-stage entrepreneur who is craving a community of peers, investors, and mentors, we’d love for you to APPLY for our next cohort - www.joindayone.com If you would like to refer a friend or family member to join one of our programs, either send them to www.joindayone.com or fill out a quick referral form at www.joindayone.com/referral-form @jakehurwitz16, @rahul_brahmbhatt and I will be around all day to answer questions!

Hey everyone, Rahul here from Day One! When we started Day One back in the summer of 2020, we set out to build a community that would grow and evolve with its members. Fast forward a few years and a few hundred Fellows and mentors later, we're so excited to share our newest launch with you! The first of many stage and sector Tracks at Day One! Our entire team has been hard at work bringing our first three Tracks to life - Explore, Validate, and Education - and we are incredibly excited to unveil it all to you today. Check our this blog post which provides a deeper dive as to where we've been and where we're going: https://www.joindayone.com/blog/... I'll be around all day answering questions, so feel free to give me a shout! — Rahul

This is what first time entrepreneurs need! So many people have great ideas and drive but lack the skills to properly explore and validate the right way. Congrats to Day One team on the launch!

This will be a game changer for aspiring founders! Congrats on the launch, team Day One.

Love the Education Track! As a teacher, this is exactly what I'm looking for. Day One is changing the game in education and entrepreneurship!

Can't say enough about what the Day One team is building. I've worked with many early stage 'programs' and there's none other that takes such a pro-active, inclusive, non 'cookie-cutter' approach to helping aspiring and early stage entrepreneurs. As a proud/satisfied cohort 5 alum and active member of the community, the platform Day One is building only gets more helpful every day! Super excited for this new launch.

A fantastic initiative to support founders, great work!

🧑‍🚀 Changing the world

I stumbled into launching a product that has since taken off much quicker than I anticipated. While I was stressing about my next steps (how and when do I scale, accelerate, and how can I do this with no money?). So I reached out to a friend, Jake Hurwitz, who coincidentally joined Day One as CMO. Days later, I'm suddenly in this community fueled with energy, great people, ideas, topics, mentors, and structured tracks. I'm no longer feeling alone and overwhelmed. Instead, I wake up charged because if I run into a problem, I can share it with a community of very smart people that chime in with either the answer, advice, resources or even support. This fellowship created a significant shift in how I feel, engage, ask for help, accelerate and achieve. Truly a game-changer!

Congratulations on the launch!!!🔥 🚀 Day One is a game-changer for founders everywhere!

This a great place to be for entrepreneurs - their goal isn't to just get founders to funding but to help them build great businesses.

This is so exciting! Day One has been building such an awesome community over the last few years and now with Tracks, the experience for founders is going to be even more impactful!

Building something incredible and very needed here! Wish I had this before we started Uprise!

Congrats on this amazing achievement! I loved being a part of Cohort 6 and can't wait to see what else you bring out!

Congrats on the launch! Day One has an All-Star team and built THE best community for entrepreneurs. Their programs will accelerate every aspect of the Idea Maze with a support network of mentors, investors, and even your future customers -Proud Alum :)

Such an incredible resource for entrepreneurs at all stages.

Great team. Great product. Proud to see you all grow.

Where the brightest first time entrepreneurs get together! Congrats on the launch to the whole team and D1 community 🔥 🚀
