Dearest Erik (and PH community),
I'm thrilled to see you make this public. It so perfectly represents all of your amazing talents; connecting people, helping people, and bringing interesting people together. The energy you've put forth building deep and meaningful friendships will surely help make On Deck something special.
Over the years you've introduced me to some incredible entrepreneurs. I can't wait to meet more and find out what's on deck (see what I did there?)

Looking forward to getting involved - I can't imagine a better person to spearhead this than @eriktorenberg
looks like a great initiative, solving a pain point that isn't currently adequately addressed. Congrats @eriktorenberg
This is an awesome way to build community - good looks Erik & team! Boston has been missing out on this since the Dart Dinners died down. Excited to help host and bring it to Boston!
@kunalslab @kylejudah Thank you guys...do ya'll wanna host? fill out the app and let me know!
@eriktorenberg @kylejudah I filled out the app already. No idea what is involved in hosting though. Perhaps you could write about what it takes to run your events in SF and what you'd need from us On Deck'ers in other cities. Excited to learn more!
How do you vet people? I imagine that's the big difference between this and others that have tried before?
This is impressive. Solves a real problem. One of those things that just seems like "duh" when you read the headline.
Hey Everyone,
One of my favorite hobbies is bringing people together. I especially love bringing great entrepreneurs together who are about to start, join, or just explore their next "thing." Think of this like a Global EIR community.
If this is you, fill out the form and let's jam! (100% Confidential :)
Would love to hear feedback!
Edit: YC, Slow, and Ludlow Ventures are our first "collaboration partners" signed up -- if you'd like to help host and/or sponsor email me at erik.torenberg@gmail.com. That would be VCs who meet great entrepreneurs before they start next co (if they opt-in), or great companies that want to meet top tech talent as they explore whether to start or join their next thing (if they opt-in :)
@eriktorenberg always had a feeling you were going to work on something like this :) –– often, it's the people you're around who influence what you end up working on (or whom you end up working on things with)
HUGE thanks to @sethlouey for designing and building this site. This dude is a super talented designer and, ironically, is On Deck himself. Any startup would be lucky to work with Seth. Holler if you want an intro :)
Thanks @eriktorenberg for making On Deck my #14 product on Product Hunt! :) Excited to see what comes from it.
Congrats duuude! :-) Always a pleasure being invited to some of your events. Can't think of anyone better to start this, than you. One of the nicest and welcoming individuals I've gotten to meet in SF -- excited to see where you take On Deck!
@_shahedk Thank you man!! It's been a pleasure jamming with you as well and looking forward to more.
Man, this makes me want to shut down my company and start a new one just so I can join :)
Erik is a master of bringing fantastic people together and On Deck is the manifestation of that--so many of the best collaborations, businesses, partnerships begun from meetings of like minds in forums like this. So happy to be a part of the On Deck community.
@rebeccak46 Thank you Rebecca! Excited to do more with you and Maveron team.
Congrats on the launch @eriktorenberg! Great way to bring people together in the creation of the next big thing.
