On Deck conditions d'adhésion

Chaque critère On Deck publie, avec sa source, la date de vérification et notre niveau de confiance — ainsi que les chiffres antérieurs, afin de suivre l'évolution des seuils dans le temps.

Lisez une condition d'admission comme le plancher publié par l'organisation, non comme une garantie. Un critère de chiffre d'affaires peut comporter des variantes pour différents types d'activité, les sections locales peuvent fixer des critères locaux plus stricts, et les organismes sur invitation publient des critères qui décrivent leurs membres plutôt qu'ils ne les admettent.

Fonctionnement des admissions

Application process

The published sequence is: apply through an online form, then an optional asynchronous video, then an interview, then an optional second interview, with a decision stated at roughly 36 hours. Admission is to a specific numbered cohort rather than to open-ended membership.

Invitation required

Non

Sponsor required

Non

Selectivity

Not publicly disclosed. Cohort size is published at 80 to 100 people, but no application volume or acceptance rate is given.

Membership term

Admission is to a single cohort; the site describes year-round community access afterwards without stating a renewal term.

Primary audience

Pre-seed and pre-idea technology founders in or willing to travel to San Francisco, building for United States customers, who are committed full-time to starting a company.

Membre type

ODF states that cohorts run 80 to 100 people and that more than half have technical backgrounds. The published eligibility screen excludes founders who have raised beyond pre-seed, who already have a team, whose business cannot reach venture scale, or whose target customers are outside the United States. Named alumni companies include Cal.com, Luma and Partiful.
