Why join Before Day Zero?

By joining Before Day Zero, you get to be a part of a tight-knit community of exceptional individuals who are all exploring what they want to build. This shared purpose and support from the community inspires action, helping members make progress on their individual paths. 

The community is specifically designed to be a space for you to think, tinker, get feedback and make progress on your idea. While there will be a sprinkling of talks and social experiences, there is no program, deadlines or mandatory activities - just an open, collaborative space for you to make the most of.

This is a free, no-strings-attached community. However, access is strictly invite-only and limited to referrals from existing members and selective picking from the waitlist.

Who is Before
Day Zero for?

No matter where you are in the country, enjoy the benefits of being a part of an ambitious, driven group dedicated to helping you explore your next big move - from deepening your interest in a sector to zeroing in on an idea to build a billion-dollar company.

Before Day Zero is for highly motivated individuals who are on the cusp of starting something new but have yet to figure out what that is.

The best time to join the community is when you are certain you want to startup at some point and have either left or are making up your mind to leave your current project to clarify and pursue this possibility. At this stage, you may have a germ of an idea, several ideas or none about what to do next. The community is designed to speed up and shape this amorphous possibility in a clear direction.
