day5 - a high functioning board, underpinned by quality materials distributed on working day 5 after period close

Board pack production, content quality and the meetings that follow have been a pain point for many years in the SME/VC/PE/Mid-market community - we've experienced it first hand and seen it across a broad range of businesses and sectors. At day5, we're on a mission to make board meetings as impactful as possible - the right content to the right audience at the right time, leaning on AI and data automation, together with a fresh perspective on how content is visualised, distributed and consumed.

Note that confidentiality, data security and closed AI are at the centre of platform design and operation for day5.

Your feedback will directly help us deliver a solution so that your boards are informed and ready to make the key decisions that drive growth from working day 5, month after month.
