Couldn't recommend this enough. If you're writing for the internet or writing in general, this is the community you never knew you needed.
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.
My experience with On Deck in 2020:
- Several deep friendships and that I expect to last a lifetime.
- Warm intros to customers, talent and advisors.
- Access to capital (Raised $100K+ during ODF6)
- $20K+ in perks (AWS, DocSend, and more)
I kinda feel like crying. So grateful.
Choosing to be a part of #ODW1 was easily the best decision of this year. I found a group of people who are invested in each other's growth and the growth of the creator ecosystem at large. Cannot recommend it enough.
Since starting @beondeck, I've been happier and more creatively fulfilled than at any other point in my career (my mood tracking data shows it).
This community is magic. Momentum is a hell of a drug.
My DMs are open if you're thinking about applying!

FAQ
To be a good fit for ODP, you are probably:
* An insatiably curious explorer who loves asking questions that take you down fascinating rabbit holes.
* An avid podcast listener, and at least a little bit entrepreneurial, with an independent spirit.
* Eager to be an active participant in a growing community, as much of the value of On Deck comes from the network and peer-to-peer connections.
Do I have to talk about tech or business? Absolutely not! We’re aiming to build a cohort with podcasters spanning a wide range of subject matter.
Joining the On Deck Deck Podcaster Fellowship is $1,990.
For this first inaugural cohort, we’re offering the program at an early-bird rate of $1,990, with the cost rising for subsequent cohorts.
ODP is a choose-your-own-adventure buffet. You get out what you put in: often, the biggest contributors are also the biggest beneficiaries.
Depending on your schedule and interests, you could choose to:
* Attend everything and “gorge” yourself on knowledge until you explode
* Tune in at your leisure to attend sessions that interest you
* Or just search the directory and connect with interesting people one-on-one
Yes: ODP will be run entirely remotely. This enables participation from all corners of the world. We’ve spent the past few ODF cohorts mastering the playbook for building remote communities and relationship building online, and will apply the same approach here.
Post-COVID, we’ll return to organizing offline programming like dinners, small gatherings, and retreats, but the core Fellowship will remain a remote-first experience.
You can view our values here, but to summarize: Service, Sacredness, Respect, and Gratitude.
