It’s go time. Tonight — 2,100 days since ODF1 — we kick off our 24th cohort for the ambitious to explore what’s next. We are excited for you to see what great things the newest members of our community build in the years ahead!
About us
Our mission is to help more people start better startups. ODF is a program we created over four years ago to help those at the exploration stage of starting a company. So far, we've helped over 1000 companies get started and raise over $2 billion. Starting a company is really exciting, but there are so many things you need to figure out in order to actually build one. - "Who might I start my company with?" - “What might we build?” - “Who might our initial customers be?” - “Should we raise funding soon, or should we try to bootstrap in the beginning?" These and many more questions are what we refer to as the "missing pieces"—the things you need to figure out to know if starting a company is right for you and what company you should ultimately build. With ODF, we bring together 80 to 100 people who are at the very same stage as you. They're all exceptionally talented, and they're all trying to figure it out together.

For ODF23 we tried our biggest change to ODF yet. It worked! We're continuing it for ODF24. Explore starting a startup with other ambitious founders in SF.
We announced a BIG experiment for the last ODF cohort: contribute-what-you-can. Result: it was a success! We're continuing it for ODF24 which kicks off in two weeks — Feb 28th. Not changing: no equity to join, no right to invest. Explore starting a startup in SF. Apply!

There hasn't been a better time to start building. Hosting a get-together next Thursday in SF for people {confidentially} exploring what's next. Past guests found co-founders, ideas & new friends. DM if you have a track record of building companies or hacking on impressive projects.
