§ Program
Fellowship program for early-stage founders, covering co-founder matching, idea validation, and startup growth.
The On Deck Founders Fellowship is a selective cohort program administered by On Deck that connects early-stage entrepreneurs for networking, idea validation, and co-founder matching. Operating on a non-dilutive, pay-what-you-can financial model with a suggested $1,000 tuition fee, the fellowship admits 80 to 150 participants across five to six cohorts annually. The program requires attendance at a five-day in-person onboarding sprint in San Francisco, with the upcoming ODF27 cohort scheduled to commence in February 2026. Backed by institutional investors such as Village Global, Founders Fund, and Tiger Global, the organization provides lifetime access to a 3,000-member alumni network and over $800,000 in software perks from companies including AWS and Stripe. This resource is specifically designed for aspiring and early-stage founders seeking to build startup momentum, secure collaborators, and access a curated community of builders and investors.
