There's lots of infra in Silicon Valley for seed stage startups (YC), series A (Sequoia), growth (Tiger)...but very little for aspiring entrepreneurs who are excited to start something but not yet exactly sure what...or with whom. Torenberg and @BeOnDeck team have now created it: https://t.co/bvBsbTEt1U

@beondeck Feels like YC circa 2009 to me. It's intimate and feels like a family, yet also filled with talented and inspiring people at a similar stage of their life's journey. If you don't need demo day and want to keep more equity, it might even be a better choice than YC.
— Tony Xiao (@tony_xiao) January 5, 2020
I’ve met a lot of the OnDeck founders and it’s a very impressive group. @julianweisser @eriktorenberg and crew are building something special that echoes early YC. https://t.co/nmFgcH2C8f

Figuring out what’s next for entrepreneurs is hard. @beondeck surrounds you with others trying to figure it out too, which can make it a little easier - the next cohort is taking applications now - well worth it. https://t.co/hnIB8Z5yQD

3/ Earlier this summer, I found an incredible community that helped make this leap easier. Thank you to the @beondeck Fellowship for providing me with the support & camaraderie to take the initial step. 🙏🏻More on that soon.

The 2nd cohort of @beondeck fellowship wrapped up this past weekend. I can't fully capture in words how valuable the past 8 weeks have been to me. Being surrounded by a phenomenal group of founders/talent all in the early stages of building their next thing is like rocket fuel.
