Hey Product Hunt! On Deck’s mission is to expand the global startup economy, because startups are the best hope of building a better future. The biggest constraint on startup creation is founders willing to take the leap. For everyone starting a company today, there are hundreds more sitting on the sidelines. This amounts to a phenomenal and unnecessary waste of human potential. That’s why On Deck is excited to announce ODX, a $100 million community fund that accelerates founders with $125,000 and an All Access Pass to the On Deck network to hire talent, fundraise and find customers. Founders need more than just capital: they require customers to partner with, world-class talent to enlist in their journey, advice from operators who’ve done it before, and much more. Most firms start with capital, and then try to build networks on top. On Deck is approaching it the other way around – we started with building the value first, our community, then bringing on the capital. For the past few years, we’ve built a network of programs where the most talented people in tech go to start, scale or join companies, or invest in their careers among a cohort of their peers. Now you can tap into all of it to fundraise, hire and scale.

This is going to be a game-changer.

?makers Congratulations on the launch! Love how this fund sits at the centre of the whole OD ecosystem and feels like a 'Founders' Factory'. Super excited to see the products coming up :) Can one apply just with an idea or some working prototype, early traction is also required?

Biggest announcement yet from On Deck. Accelerate the startup economy. 🚀🚀

Excited to see this launch to support the builders of the future.
