@andrew_w_hutton @michaeljnovotny thank you Michael - your presence will lift up and elevate our community even further. Appreciate you saying that!
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 😀
@bala_asodu thank you Bala. Which part of the new site resonated the most to you and based on where you are in your founder journey?
I love the simplified subscription model. I think it’s a steal for the founder community.
I’m 100% bullish Day One offers high value for this insanely low price tier.
Congratulations Andrew, Rahul, and KP 🎉 Can’t wait to participate in The Build Track.
Congratulations Andrew! So happy to see you here! 🚀Following all of your success since ‘Day One!’ 🫶🏾
@elizabeth_alli Thanks Elizabeth! It's been quite the journey, just one step at a time.
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
Great concept! I know of some folks looking for something like this, so i just tweeted and shared this with them! Congrats on the launch!
@britt_joiner appreciate you - can't wait for those in your circle to get a taste of Day One :)
Congratulations Day One & team! I love being a part of the Day One community and am excited for what's next! 🎉
@ankit_sparks thank you man! We once had a program called Day Zero. Great minds think alike ;)
As a fellow from the summer cohort 2022, I want to give a shout out to @DayOne. As an entrepreneur and operator, there are many questions that we entrepreneurs and startup founders have during our journey. I spent the past 7 years figuring out everything on our own, without anyone to ask questions to. Joining DayOne this past summer and being part of this community has been so helpful because it gave me an avenue to ask these questions and receive answers. And the support from mentors and other fellows has been awesome. As we get ready to raise funds, I’m so grateful for the feedback we’ve received. I already feel so much more prepared and confident. It would have been nice to have found this community and resource 7 years ago because it would have saved me time, trial and error, and money. When starting a business, it’s important to work hard AND smart, but sometimes, we don’t know what smart is until we’ve failed a few times. DayOne can be a shortcut to your success.
@dayone @brian_spears20 BRIAN...it means a lot that you took a moment to share your experience :)
When I browse through our Slack activity, I have said this to myself that "Day One feels like a tight-knit spam-free private Quora (for entrepreneurial questions and challenges)" Your comment just validated that, so thank you!
We're constantly finding ways to show the outside world a peek of the inside experience you have had with mentors and other fellows.. so would love any suggestions and ideas. But otherwise, appreciate your kind compliments!
This is amazing!! Can't think of a better fit for your skills and passion KP!
Can't wait to be a part of the community.
