Day One is a fellowship for founders who are in the early stages of building something. Think of Day One like a global, virtual EIR program, powered by a venture-studio playbook.
Hey Hunters! 👋
Andrew here, co-founder and CEO of Day One.
Just over 2 years ago we launched Day One just as the pandemic was just getting started. If you remember, the world was scared, but also filled with resolve and optimism. It was time to build.
But we’ve seen much of that early-pandemic momentum slip away in 2022. Markets have become murky and the venture capital ecosystem ground to a halt. Cohort-based courses have started to lose steam.
Naturally, we doubled down on having deep conversations with our community. We learned that it is time for us to evolve and meet entrepreneurs where they are in their lives- and that means being more flexible, more affordable, and ultimately, more valuable and more helpful - so that more new entrepreneurs succeed.
So what does this mean?
Day One is now more affordable and requires no long-term commitment.
We spent much of the last two years raising prices. We knew we were offering immense value and we wanted to signal that what we offered was world class. But there was always some dissonance with our mission to help millions of entrepreneurs start and build new businesses.
So earlier this year, we changed our approach and started asking ourselves "how can we LOWER prices?" Of course, the caveat is that we can't skimp on value. We want to deliver so much value that joining Day One is a no-brainer.
The answer ended up being simple; offer a monthly subscription, and make it seamlessly easy to sign up and jump into everything Day One has to offer in less than 90 seconds.
Now, starting today, you can join Day One for as short - or as long - as you'd like. Get involved immediately and start attending our events, take advantage of $100,000+ in perks, or set up 200 meetings and go on a blitz to find a co-founder, or jump right into office hours with mentors.
We're also introducing the Community Membership. Now for $49/month or $499/year, anyone can access the growing community, exclusive events, and resources we've curated.
You can of course join our flagship programs in the Tracks Membership, which is now $149/mo or $1,499/year. In the Tracks Membership, you have access to our growing catalog of education deep-dive sprints. You can join as many Tracks as you'd like, and join the live programs that we run every quarter (along with everything else in the Community Membership).
We're also relaunching our coaching service as a new membership tier. For $399/month, you’ll get 1:1 and group coaching (along with everything else in the Tracks Membership).

💪 We’re always building and there’s much more to come
As our community grows, Day One will become much more valuable to every member. This is known as “the community flywheel effect”. But a community that grows too quickly and without intention can lose value as well. We’re hyper aware of this and will continually invest in both our platforms and a growing community team to continue making Day One feel tight knit.
We will continue to welcome new members individually, make 1:1 matches across the community, curate small group pods, and listen to our community when it comes to what we build next. And we will continue to enforce strict community guidelines to assure the highest quality and safest experience for everyone.
Until then, onward with building, and we hope to see you inside the community! We’ll be online all day answering comments and questions.
Best,
Andrew and the Day One team
Hey everyone, excited to help bring this new announcement from Day One to the Product Hunt community and the wider world of entrepreneurship 🎉
Today, we're making the biggest and the most significant upgrade to how emerging entrepreneurs like you can experience Day One and get a quick taste of our community and educational tracks without committing too much. Andrew @andrew_w_hutton (CEO of Day One) will explain more on the announcement in his comments.
It’s been so much fun being part of this transition as the team got to talk to hundreds of customers, understand their priorities and preferences and design new offerings inspired by the community feedback.
Let us know if you have questions or comments — stoked to hear from you 😀
I have LOVED my Day One experience, from all the way back in DayOne Cohort 3! I continue to participate in the community through my "Founders Pass" membership and love the guidance and support I get from Andrew and my fellow founders.
