AI does the busywork. People do the rest.
In the age of AI, we use it every day at Day 1, and we help members use it too. That frees our time for what no model can do: introducing you to the right person, getting you in a room with founders who have done it, and working next to people who care what you’re building.

The floor is laid out for collaboration and creation, not heads-down isolation. A bright open floor of hot desks, plus a pantry, couch areas, meeting rooms, and phone booths. Everything is designed to make it easy to bump into someone interesting and start something.
Built for collaboration
Open hot desks and a community lounge, with meeting rooms and phone booths when you need them. No cubicles. Talking is encouraged, with quiet focus areas for when you need to put your head down undisturbed.
Built for creation
A pantry, couch areas for lounging, plus meeting rooms big and small. The full toolkit to host a workshop, run a livestream, ship a deck, or close a deal.
Built for Day 1 thinking
For anyone who refuses to settle: pre-formation founders, teams of 1–3 scaling and testing, freelancers between gigs, and entrepreneurs who want a room that keeps challenging them. A mindset, at any stage.

Backed by founders who’ve built here.
Day 1 is shaped by entrepreneurs and community builders who have started, scaled, and exited companies across Taiwan and Asia, and who show up to help the people in the room.
They’re here to help members.
Every member can book one-to-one time with them online. Bring the problem in front of you, whether that’s setting up a company, fundraising, finding first customers or hiring in Taiwan, and talk it through with someone who has already solved it.
