Introduction

On the latest episode of The Deep End podcast by On Deck, we interview our very own David Booth, CEO of On Deck.

Recently, David has announced one of the biggest updates to On Deck since the program went virtual in 2020, with the return of in-person programming and community space in San Francisco.

In this conversation, we discuss why On Deck is doubling down on IRL programming, why he believes venture-backed founders need to be deeply connected to the Bay Area, why now is the best time to start a company and how startups help combat stagnation.

The episode is for anyone interested in better what is needed for early-stage start-ups to succeed in the current economic climate, the Bay Area as a tech hub, and how startups are the best mechanism we have to solve complex societal problems.
