quick notes from @joinodf so far:
so many people around you are kind, capable, knowledgeable, cracked, and incredibly generous about their skills.
get to know them + give freely in return !
Something about my interactions with @julianweisser vs. other investors really stands out.
When I share good news, most reply “Congrats!”
Julian ALWAYS replies “Keep going!”
And so we do. Forever grateful for his unwavering support. 💚
The @joinodf and @_TheResidency are the most founder friendly startup communities in SF.
Rare blend of extremely talented and kind people, hard to find these days and they do a great job at bringing such people together.
Had some major decisions to make today and DMd @julianweisser out of the blue for advice
Got back to me in under 2 hours with exactly what I needed
Doing @joinodf was one of the best choices I've ever made
2021 @Afterpattern acquired by NetDocuments
2023 I leave NetDocuments to start something new
2024 I participate in the @joinodf fellowship, meet @ReubsAbraham and cofound @EchoAINotes
2025 Finally starting to feel like we're onto something: Using AI + voice notes to help
P.S. Cravd was part of ODF22, which was transformative for us. If you’re in the early days of starting a company and looking for a supportive community apply for their next cohort at joinodf.com! A special shoutout to @julianweisser, @FedericoNoemie, and @aridutilh!!
WHOLESOME 🥹❤️
The entire @joinodf team is just amazing. Special thanks to @julianweisser, @FedericoNoemie, and @aridutilh for believing in us.

Hard agree! Doing this in the @joinodf community has been a huge ROI
each update takes 2-5 mins to write.
more so than anything, it forces me to plan for the next week and execute, rather than being carried away with in-the-moment distractions — very easy to miss just planning

my key takeaway from 2024:
optimizing personal network and meeting the right people was the highest leverage move that boosted my entrepreneurial and technical learnings
being a part of @joinodf has been pivotal for my progress in this area

Simply put, @tramlinehq would not have existed without On Deck. The community is exceptionally helpful, caring, and fun.
The journey of building a product biz is lonely and taxing and stressful — a community of people going through similar emotions is invaluable! If you're on…
I was in ODF14 back in 2022. I was 23, on a student visa and had just graduated. Fortunately, @beondeck was kind enough to offer me a scholarship. The OnDeck team is one that cares and supports founders. OnDeck has helped a lot in the journey of @Flashmateshq.
On Deck changed my life — I truly
believe it’ll do the same for every aspiring founder
I mean I’m a random Indian kid from Dubai who was supposed to be just another banking application in London.
I’m now building a PropTech used by some of top brokerages in the MENA region
I went through ODF17 and it was truly instrumental in my founder journey.
@julianweisser and the rest of the @beondeck crew are absolutely top notch.
@joinbloomy wouldn’t be where we are today without them.
Apply below!
Just speaks volumes about what ODF stands for.
The best can come from anywhere, The best will build companies of all sizes across all markets.
And being around the team, I can vouch they are just helping you find yourself and give you access to every tool that you need to…
ODF community is awesome and super supportive!!
if you are looking to start your company or looking for cofounders @beondeck is a great fit!
happy to provide referrals and share ODF22 experience, dm me xP
Making ODF pay-what-you-want is simply badass.
@beondeck is now in a category of its own
- no equity
- no right to invest
- and now, cash isn't even a blocker to join either!
@andrew__rea and I wouldn't have started a company together without the support of ODF. If anyone is…
I keep meeting the most incredible people out and about and I find out they did ODF.
Truly a *community* like no other.
@julianweisser is a major support to so many people. Apply!!
Being a pre-revenue bootstrapped startup founder, every $$ counts, super grateful to @beondeck for some (a lot!) of their wonderful partnerships!
They have kickass discount perks for so many tools (3 of them we are currently using) that would drop our bill a lot!
ODF is truly…
Wow what a memorable week.
Was great to part of this year On Deck cohort.
Was nice to elected as guy most likely to be arrested.
One thing I felt over anything else was everyone was genuinely interested in listening to you.
Will push each other !
ODF22 #ODF
Honestly, I was skeptical at first. But @yegemberdin pushed me to join @beondeck.
Now?
I can confidently say it's one of the best programs I have ever experienced. Sometimes, you need that push to discover something great.
ODF22 going strong!!
Talent density is impressive here, great job team @beondeck 🔥
a little over 5 years ago i was between jobs and not sure what to do
ODF created an amazing space for me to explore and be inspired
would do it again!
I joined @beondeck's 4th cohort in 2020.
It was a time of huge uncertainty + transition, I had just started @joincrescentco from my dorm room and it was the peak of COVID.
It's been amazing to watch the community grow since and return to its roots of IRL - it was a huge…
This cohort — ODF1 @beondeck changed my life.
Feels like yesterday and I can’t believe it’s been 5 years!!
Excited for the next 5 years of ODF! Congrats @julianweisser and team 👏
Hacking on a dev first crm building on top of @twentycrm while understanding immigration and incorporation at @intercom
🫡 thx @beondeck
