Alumni Case Studies

"It’s a great place to feel like you’re not alone on what can be the very lonely journey of starting a company."

"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."

"I can use On Deck as a resource to navigate any challenge that comes up for the rest of my career."

"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."

"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."

"They understand that organic and iterative connection is where the magic happens."

"There is nothing like this forum to reinvigorate and expand your perspective."

"By just putting yourself in an environment with a lot of other interesting people, good things tend to happen."

On Deck is how I met Sam, who is now my co-founder at Levels.
