Two widow founders launch DayNew, a social platform for people dealing with grief and trauma
After losing their husbands in devastating and unexpected ways, Karine Nissim and Eloise Bune D'Agostino discovered there were no suitable places where DayNew is a new all-in-one platform for grief and trauma that includes social networking features, a task manager, and more.
After losing their husbands in devastating and unexpected ways, Karine Nissim and Eloise Bune D’Agostino discovered there were no suitable places where people could go to face all the challenges that surface during the grieving process, including daunting tasks such as organizing a funeral ceremony and donating belongings, as well as scouring the internet for support groups. Being seasoned entrepreneurs themselves—Nissim having sold her startup DogVacay to Rover in 2017 and Bune D’Agostino, who co-founded Tentrr and Handwriting.io —the two widow founders decided to take matters into their own hands and build what they call a “360 healing” platform that provides a range of services and resources to help with grief and other hardships like divorce, illness, and trauma. The company compares the prompts to homework from a therapist, asking tough and thought-provoking questions such as “What’s something about grief you never knew before?” and “What’s something you wish you could tell your younger self?” Depending on comfort level, the journal entry can be kept private or shared publicly on the Community feed.
