WHERE ENDINGS MEET NEW BEGINNINGS
$
whoami
A community for founders sunsetting their startups — and the ex-founders figuring out what's next.
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
