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.💕
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.

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.
The On Deck Method
We're building a modern educational institution that redefines how community and learning come together. Being part of any On Deck program means you’ll have access to a community of world-class professionals. With every new program we launch and cohort we start, your network gets stronger.
Here are the cornerstones of the On Deck experience:
Deep Friendships
Unparalleled Knowledge
Community Diversity
Scaled With Software
Engineered Serendipity
Spirit of Service

How Grace Chang Raised $8 Million to Democratize Mental Health Care With Kintsugi
It's so important for my co-founder Rima and me to see how much of a dent we can really make. We know we can't do it alone. And it's absolutely because of communities like On Deck that help this small little idea become more fully formed and something where we can gather people who are mission-aligned to build this vision together.
How Max Greenwald Raised $4.5 Million for Warmly to Empower Virtual Connections
"When I was new to this ‘Founder World’, I had no community, I had no people to talk to you. I didn't understand the legal, the HR, the tech, the coding, the fast iteration, the rapid pace —I was overwhelmed. So I went to On Deck seeking community where I could meet with and talk to other people in a similar stage.
How Vance Roush and Kyle Woumn Raised $10 Million to Make Donations Frictionless with Overflow
Vance Roush and Kyle Woumn share their experience building Overflow, a company that inspires generosity through technology by making donations frictionless across every major asset class. With the help of On Deck, Vance and Kyle built the network they needed to take Overflow to the next level and raise a $10M Series A to empower people anywhere to give to causes they care about.
How KD Deshpande Is Building the All-in-One Design Platform for Marketing Professionals.
I was like ‘wow’ this is the tribe I belong to. These are the kind of people I want to be surrounded with. This is where I belong. I was talking with a lot of like minded people and fueling that burning desire. It inspired me to go and quit my high paying job at Facebook.
How Showtime Raised a $7.6M Seed Round to Build the Social Network for NFTs
I thought, I'm a French person who doesn’t have a college roommate in Stanford who happens to be my co-founder and is passionate about the same things. So I guess... On Deck might be the best serendipity maximizer.
How James Ruben Is Transforming the World of Kids' Educational Content With Hellosaurus
“Our goal with Hellosaurus is to provide a safe and fun space where kids can pretend to be whatever they want today, so they can develop the skills to become whoever they want to be tomorrow. Through a pretend play lens, children will be able to learn about the world, different opportunities, and topics while also developing critical skills like creative thinking and communication.”
