1/ We aspire for @beondeck (the *company*) to be somewhere the most ambitious future founders want to work

We don't want to hire people who just want to be engineers, operators, or product managers

We want to hire people who will start and run their own companies in the future

2/ If you're with us 6 months or 6 years, your time at On Deck should be less "career ladder" and more a series of learning curves — accelerating your growth

The faster you can run up a curve, the harder we'll work to make sure there's another one waiting for you to jump to

3/ When you feel there's nothing left to learn at On Deck, we'll help you take the next step, and back you all the way.

We have the world's best talent asset on our doorstep: a pool of potential co-founders and collaborators — and you get a birds-eye view.

4/ But heads up: you're not here to moonlight your side-hustle on our dime.

With high autonomy/ownership comes high expectations. Our crew hustles hard: @btaleisnik ran the On Deck Fellowship single handed. He'll also build his own killer startup one day (not too soon I hope 🙃)

5/ Does this sound like you? we have roles open on the @cosign team today:

6/ and will be opening up more on the Fellowship in the next few months — a lot of thought going into building an enduring organization.

I'd love to speak with any future founders who want to align their journeys with ours for a while. DM's open, or hit me david [at] beondeck [dot] com.
