Feel like some of my most lucid thinking / writing happens on planes; working theory is that the wifi is just good enough to write a doc, but too bad to enable distracting behavior

We're making the biggest update to ODF since it went virtual in 2020. 1. ODF will kick off with a weekend summit in the Bay Area. 2. After that, you'll have 4 weeks of intense virtual + IRL programming designed to drive outcomes. 3. We’re opening up a community space in SF.

We often get asked: "How can I hire from the On Deck ecosystem?" Now you can – introducing Via 👇

Last week, 100+ founders gathered in SF to kick-off ODF17. Fellows came together to explore and build in AI, climate, logistics, longevity and more. The optimism, energy and ambition were contagious. We’re now excited to open up applications for ODF18.

Here's what my team and I have been cooking up over the last couple weeks! Much more coming soon.

Find my Friends feature req: "Who's in town?" > I don't need your precise location + am OK sharing my imprecise location with 10x more ppl > I can scan for a list of contacts "in my town" → start text or FT > Prevent stalking: notify contacts when they appear on my scan

If you’re a hard-working generalist with great judgement looking for your next role and are 5ish years into your career (or know someone who is), DMs open. So many awesome roles have made their way into my inbox this summer and I wanna show em off!

inspired by Blake Robbins's random thoughts - using the format to ease into twitter again: * the lines between public and private (broadcast / dm) will get increasingly blurry online * tomatoes unfairly get a bad rap. try ripe heirlooms w/salt * equity compensation should be simpler

friends looking for what's next - lmk if you know a fit! * sr prod. eng. - v smart, v hardworking, v social. seeking company >= 40 ppl in NYC * resilient sr designer, a do-it-all force of nature: product, brand, visual, UX, all of it. Could be a first/founding designer, remote

3 wild + wonderful years On Deck now ODF leave me feeling grateful for the chances people have taken on me, and dear friendships formed. Off to NYC for my next chapter — more exciting updates soon. I have some space to rest + think in the next few weeks: all recs and hellos welcomed!

Will be in a new city starting a new job soon. Curious to see which parts of my personality / lifestyle are persistent through the change, versus rather fickle byproducts of my prior environment.

fluorescent light feels like it kills my productivity

new life chapter unlocked: i've moved to new york and i'm helping build Runway would love to hear from you if you wanna catch up or have nyc recs :)

There should be an arrow at the exit of every subway that tells you what direction you’re facing when you get onto the sidewalk: n/s/e/w

“We invested in you because we believed in you. We still do. A sense of honor compels me to say that we no longer believe this opportunity is the best use of your time over the next few years. What you do with this is your decision because it always has been; we will back it.”

settled into a new chapter and reflecting on how i landed here was so clarifying when i put what i wanted (career-wise) onto paper and asked the folks who supported me, for help yielded amazing convos and distilled a lot down simply. sharing here: r.tripathy.co/Rishi-was-craf…

i apologize in advance for this

we spent the last four years reimagining what finance can be, unburdened by what has been. runway makes clear the significance of the passage of time in the context of all in which your business lives and what came before you. this is the result 👇

AI adoption in collaborative writing would be actually useful I'd expect @notionhq and Google Docs to ship features like "incorporate comment thread into document" very soon so much time wasted reesolvingn discussion, pasting into chatgpt, and re-stitching docs/specs...
