Founder & Chief Day Officer

Tristan Day

Tristan Day didn't choose the day industry. His last name did. Since founding Dayslabs, he has dedicated his life to the singular mission of making days, all seven of them, work harder for the people who live inside them.

By day (fittingly), Tristan works in Information Technology, where colleagues describe him as "the guy who fixed the printer once and never let anyone forget it." He built the entire Dayslabs empire nights and weekends, largely from a help-desk ticketing queue, and lists "turning it off and on again" as both a professional skill and a personal philosophy.

A self-described "calendar futurist," Tristan believes the modern day is underleveraged, poorly branded, and long overdue for disruption. He has never missed a Monday, though several Mondays have tried to miss him.

"People ask me if I'm just a guy named Day who started a company about days. I tell them: I'm also the guy who resets your password. Try to have some respect."
