WHERE ENDINGS MEET NEW BEGINNINGS
$ whoami

A community for founders navigating the sunset of their startups.

We gather at dawn — that liminal moment between night and day — because we understand that every ending carries the seeds of something new.

No judgment. No shame. Just founders who get it.

// About Dawn

Building a company is hard. Shutting one down might be harder. Dawn is a community for founders in transition — those winding down, those hiring, and those figuring out what's next.

We host regular gatherings where:
> Ex-founders share experiences without the success theater
> Hiring founders meet incredible talent
> Everyone finds their next chapter

// Upcoming Gatherings

[2025.10.16] San Francisco
Dawn SF: October Gathering
Time and location TBD. Ex-founders only. Off the record.

Ready for a new beginning?

Join a growing community of founders who understand that failure isn't the end — it's data for what comes next.

Free to join. Ex-founders only.
