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.

How Anthony Geranio left Software Engineering to raise $2 million for 1v1Me
“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.”

How Amy Yin Built the OfficeTogether MVP for Paying Customers in 4 Weeks
"At On Deck, I attended intimate sessions with other founders about both their successful and unsuccessful journeys. I got so much energy from writing code for the hackathon (I built OfficeTogether’s MVP in Airtable!) and I also met so many people in 1:1 meetings who had just made the leap. My experience at On Deck gave me the courage to leave my job and start my own company, which was hard given how much I loved Coinbase.”
How I Pivoted from Accenture to Early-Stage Startups Through the On Deck First 50 Fellowship
"The On Deck community was there every step of the way during my recruiting journey, they connected me to their network, coached me through offer negotiations, and attended my dance party social events."
How early Ethereum employee Robbie Bent transformed his obsession into a business
"ODF created a powerful flywheel for me and my business. Now my mission, and what I want Inward to be, is extremely clear."
How Alex Masmej 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 Health Tech Entrepreneur Madison Campbell Used 2nd-Order Thinking to Carve a Path for Leda Health
“I figured if you could fix the sexual assault and harassment problem, the second-order effects of it would be so huge. It would mean that women could have confidence and profound support entering workplaces they didn't historically populate.”
