Excited to introduce: @cammori - Operations Team! ⚡️
2/ Candice joins us with an incredible background spanning data science, international business, public policy, and climate tech.
The common thread that ties her career together is "business for good" 🌍 🤲 🌱
3/ At On Deck, she'll start by working across the Operations org as a utility-player, doing a rotation between: our Candidates team, ODF team, and new programs (ODW/ODA).
She'll then transition to helping us launch and lead a exciting new program in 2021 🤫 more on that soon...
4/💡 Fun fact: she won a trip to India off of Twitter, "despite my weak Twitter presence" (in her words). Let's change that...give @cammori a follow! 🐦
She also rode a motorcycle on one of the highest motorable roads in the world 🏍️
Welcome, Candice! 👋

"Zoom school" has had us all question the value of traditional education, leading to increased participation in bootcamps, online courses, and hands-on learning methods.
Now's the time for ambitious builders to craft their vision of the future of education.
But building alone in this space is difficult.
Regulatory hurdles, slow-moving incumbent organizations, and lack of access to institutional knowledge have slowed innovation. There has never been a location centralizing builders in the field — until now.
Miami Tech with Keith Rabois is an On Deck Drop: one-off, exclusive opportunities in pursuit of our mission to unlock the potential of the most talented people in the world.
Capacity is limited and we prioritize access to current OD fellows and alumni.
On Deck Drops are one-off, exclusive opportunities - cohort based courses (CBC), retreats, co-living experiences and more - in pursuit of our mission to unlock the potential of the most talented people in the world.
We are excited to announce we’ve raised $20 million from 180+ of the world’s top investors and operators to create the modern educational institution for the next 100 years.
📽 Here’s a look at the journey we’re on, and where we’re headed:
We wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped us get to this point - our fellows, our partners, our team, and our investors - this journey is just getting started, and we’re grateful for your early belief in us.
Just over a year ago, we launched our first virtual fellowship (ODF3) not knowing what to expect as the world moved indoors and online.
Since then, we've reached:
- 17 different fellowships
- 3500+ different fellows
- 90+ team members
When creating an online course, activating prior knowledge is the number one thing you need to know about your students to optimize the learning experience.
In this video, Andrew shares how to do this effectively.
Over Global Build Weekend, Nivi teamed up with 5 strangers and launched Yaya, a peer coaching platform for women which gained over 780 sign-ups in 36 hours.
@AThakkar interviewed Nivi and teammate Paula Hernandez Forero on the journey creating Yaya.
They cover Yaya's initial success and it's potential future but also about their childhoods, how they came to join @beondeck and even lucid dreaming 😴.
