Seems like another one of those, pay 2,000 for <i>access</i> groups that entirely expects to rent seek on what is essentially a really good irc group (which are FREE to start and join). Essentially like paying a match maker to set you up on dates instead of finding them organically

I applied and had one brief interview with someone over video. Maybe it&#x27;s just me, but I think it&#x27;s reasonable to expect a follow up, possibly with some feedback, after an interview. But that didn&#x27;t happen. Not the end of the world for me, but a detail I think that should matter to a company that touts a strong community horn.

I cannot emphasize enough that the real-value of On Deck is not just the events and investors you are going to get access to, or those fireside chats, but the community.<p>On Deck hand picked highly ambitious people with positive attitudes, who are in similar stages of their lives and have shared goals.<p>It is like being in a room with a ton of sharp, likeminded people such as yourself, and everyone is looking to help one another to build the next big thing.<p>Truly inspiring and accelerating experience.<p>Happy to answer any questions about my experience in On Deck.

Usually these sorts of posts are some sort of interesting content that wraps around an ad - like maybe steps you can take to engineer luck leading to more serendipity and bg the way check out this service - but this just literally seems to be an ad for some 2000 dollar rent seeking program? Am I missing something?

There is a time and a place for spontaneity.
