A better way to work with NYC founders | Wayo x Startup+ Community Workday
Leave behind loud coffee shops and isolating coworking spaces. Work in spaces that match your vibe, energy, and goals.
Most of us work in one of three places:
Alone at home
In a noisy café
In a coworking space that doesn’t really feel like a community
What if there was a better option?
We’ve partnered with Wayo to bring Startup+ members a new way to work alongside some of NYC’s most driven founders, builders, and operators.
Wayo curates Community Workdays in some of NYC’s best daytime venues, think rooftops, restaurants, and private spaces designed for productivity and connection.
Instead of sitting alone behind your laptop, you spend the day working alongside 12–15 other ambitious people. Get your space just for $5 (Use code: SPLUSVIP5)
Just a thoughtfully designed workday surrounded by people who are building serious things.
And yes coffee, tea, and lunch are included from the host venue.
What the day looks like
🕘 9:00 AM - Settle in, coffee/tea, deep work
🕙 10:45 AM - Light intros with the group
🕛 12:45 PM - Lunch + organic conversation
🕞 3:45 PM - Optional curated 1:1 connections
🍸 5:00 PM - Optional casual happy hour
You can work on your own schedule and join any moments you want, or none at all.
Why people love it
Members often report being 1.5–2× more productive than working from home, a café, or a typical coworking space.
But the real magic happens in the in-between moments, when you meet someone building something interesting at the table next to you.
Most people walk away with 2–3 meaningful connections by the end of the day.
Startup+ Member Offer
To celebrate the partnership, the first few Startup+ Community Workdays are just $5.
Upcoming sessions:

📍 April 22 (Wednesday) - The Throwback (710 Amsterdam Ave, New York)

Spots are intentionally small and tend to fill quickly.
If you’ve been wanting to meet more builders in NYC, this is probably the easiest way to start.

Show up, do your best work, and see who you end up building alongside.

I tried to sign up for a $5 spot: i registered properly and I tried to paste the discount code into the proper “buy ticket” field, but that field was greyed out, and it said “the discount had already been applied,” which reduced the price to $25 for the day, not “$5” for the day.
The same problem occurred for all of the dates you listed. Is there something wrong with the site that no $5 tickets are available despite repeated claims to the opposite in your email promoting your company, and in your substack post about it.
You have initiated a chain of frustrating events that wasted an hour of my time. I’m disappointed bc it was a good idea and value. I’m just glad I didn’t give you my credit card info. I take false advertising and potential fraud very seriously as I am a privacy and security reporter. I hope you’ll find a way to make this right and compensate me for my time. If I don’t hear back, I’ll have to consider writing to substack and some of your event partners about this frustrating experience. In a spirit of good will, I hope this was just “growing” pains due to an excessive rush to market, and not fraud or anything nefarious.
