2023

On Deck's
Top Companies

Introducing our 2023 list of promising companies tackling problems worth solving.

The Background

We launched the first On Deck fellowship in 2019. Throughout it all we have helped start and accelerate hundreds of companies that are now worth over $9 billion. In an effort to consistently showcase the best and most promising On Deck companies, every year we publish an annual list of top performers. This year, we are proud to present a compilation of 40 companies that have demonstrated significant traction over the past 12 months.

The Methodology

To arrive at this list, we have considered a number of factors in our selection process, with funding raised, valuation, and momentum over the last year being some of the primary criteria. The nature and importance of the problems the companies are tackling also carry some weight in our decision-making.
