Company mission

A community where ambitious people learn and build together. Silicon Valley is a mindset, not a physical location. Anyone can contribute to progress through technology.

Our take

In a world that is becoming increasingly digitized and with connections often driven by technology, On Deck have created a community platform connecting top technology talent with ambitious endeavours.

It offers paid for fellowship options, designed to guide users in the right direction, linking them with the best opportunities. On Deck is like social media for entrepreneurs, but instead of mindless scrolling it's used to find fresh education opportunities and new companies to invest in, start, or join.

On Deck was responsible for over 300 new startups raising over $250m in recent years. Banking on the continuing wave of young people hungry to forge their own paths, On Deck are on a mission to launch and scale big ideas and make lifelong friends whilst creating a modern education institution for the future of work.

Benefits

  • Work from home opportunities

Company values

  • Service - We’re obsessed with building an incredible experience for our community members. We focus on customer service above all else. We inhabit a “spirit of service” mindset and seek ways to help our members and fellow teammates without considering what we might get as a reward.
  • Confidentiality - By default, everything is off the record. Many in this community are searching for something deeper in their lives or making big transitions, and others may not yet have publicly shared this with friends, family, or employers. Please honor that, and avoid sharing anything you learn about each other without explicit permission.
  • Gratitude - We treat each day as a new opportunity to challenge ourselves and grow. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work together on a significant undertaking that has the potential to create such an impact on how people learn, start new companies, and accelerate their careers.
  • Family - If accepted to the Fellowship, you will become part of the On Deck family. You’re all embarking on what will surely be a rollercoaster of a journey – but you’re in this shared experience together. With that comes a sense of responsibility: be inclusive, stick together, and respect one another.
