Description

ODF helps more people start companies through an intense one-week in-person experience in San Francisco, focused on meeting collaborators, exploring ideas, and gaining conviction. Participants join a community of 80-100 founders and builders and get access to a 3,000+ member platform, and over $800k in perks from partners like Mercury, AWS, and Stripe Atlas. The program is non-dilutive and has helped launch over 1,000 startups. In 2019, ODF launched its first cohort, and since then, its alumni have founded over 1,000 companies with a collective worth in the billions. The organization publishes an annual list of top-performing ODF companies, ranging from pre-seed to Series C and beyond. The selection for this list is based on factors such as funding, progress, momentum, and the significance of the problems the startups are solving.
