Two words review of @beondeck: AMAZING EXPERIENCE 🙌. And a prediction: it will become the default place entrepreneurs go (back) to throughout their career to start/explore what's next. Life is too short to wing it when there is already a place to find amazing folks to work with.
Pre @beondeck: Vague ideas + working alone + unclear paths forward
Post @beondeck: More defined ideas than I have time for + 2 cofounders who love to hustle + a growing, unique business
@beondeck has created an unparalleled product, community & a loyal, authentic member base like I’ve never seen before. In my time in SV I’ve seen many attempts at creating communities large & small. On Deck is magical because the team behind it is just relentless & good people.💕

The On Deck Universe
Our ecosystem is an interwoven web of programs, each one designed to strengthen the others.
Everything we do stems from our obsession with creating the strongest ecosystem for ambitious people to come and change the world. Each program we launch creates strong flywheels that make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. The demand of one program is fulfilled by the supply of another.
We started with the launch of our Founders Fellowship (ODF) in June 2019,
and quickly expanded to support angels and VCs. These communities fuel one another—founders fundraise and investors find promising deals with greater ease. Now, we're rapidly strengthening our network flywheels through the launch of additional niche programs to support more top talent globally.
With every new program and cohort we launch, your network gets stronger.

Anthony Geranio, ODF5
“On Deck helped me raise $750k for my startup, 1v1Me, but then we raised an additional $1.25M a month or two later. Now, my foot is on the gas scaling 1v1Me 24/7. However, what I will say is I always make time for On Deck.”
Brian Requarth and Gina Gothliff, ODF4
“At On Deck, the resounding thought in everyone's minds is 'you get what you put in.' And the reason why that's a resounding thought is that it's true. “
Amelia Lin, ODF2
"The level of helpfulness from founders who are further along than you and lived through the challenges you’re facing was above and beyond 99% of what I’ve found in other places."
Nick Fitz, ODF6 and ODS1
"The size of the network and the curation of the people in it is so active and dedicated to helping each other. It’s like a living thing."
Madison Campbell, ODH1 and ODF6
"I can use On Deck as a resource to navigate any challenge that comes up for the rest of my career."

Michael Jones, ODW1
"There is a general expectation that writing fellowships are very tactical. Those things are valuable, but the humanity of On Deck is what has supported me in my writing life moving forward."
