On Deck Chief of Staff Fellowship - Where Chiefs of Staff go for support & to build superpowers.

As the number of incredible founders and teams in the Internet economy grows, so too does the need for the rocket fuel to help them scale. Leverage is a superpower, and Chiefs of Staff are the heroes behind it at many of the most influential organizations around the world. We're excited to launch ODCoS to bring together the most ambitious Chiefs of Staff in the world and give them the supportive peer network and educational resources to maximize their impact on those they serve. Soon after joining On Deck as a PM to help build the future of education, the team started to explode in headcount, and there was a need for a Chief of Staff to help support @daveboothy and @eriktorenberg to make sure the company we're building was a lean, mean, community-building machine. I stepped into the role not knowing exactly what it'd entail, but being crystal clear that I was in for the ride of my professional life. Fast forward, and here I am, bringing ODCoS to life while concurrently serving as our internal CoS! Over eight weeks, the best Chiefs of Staff in the ecosystem (and a select few making the transition) will join a community of peers in ODCoS1 to gain a deep support system and unmatched network, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing from other world-class CoS, and an understanding of how to use the role as an accelerant for their team and career. Fellows should expect to spend at least 2-5 hours a week engaging in peer-led sessions and socials, events held by some of our amazing guests (see the blue GIF above), and participating in dedicated Mastermind peer groups. By the end of the fellowship, fellows will have a better grasp of how to approach supporting their executive, how to maximize their impact on the organization, and have a growing network that’s ready to activate. The opportunities for ambitious, agile, generalists who want to make a lasting impact on the technology ecosystem are more bountiful than ever. For the aspiring founder, CEO, or executive, few roles can be as transformational as being a great CoS. If you are or have a Chief of Staff, apply today! We'd love to learn more about you. https://www.beondeck.com/chief-o...

Forget chief of staff, I wanna know what your camera setup is @rishi_tripathy! 😂

Not only does this have the freshest color palette, but the freshest (and youngest) program director as well! Excited for this, Rishi :)

This is amazing, congrats on the launch team! @rishi_tripathy pls teach me all the things and also DM your camera setup :D

Excited for our foray into position-based fellowships, and CoS as our first launch here! The real question is: What's the proper plural for Chief of Staff?

@rishi_tripathy you are inspiring - I want to apply for this fellowship!!!!

On Deck is so lucky to have @rishi_tripathy as our Chief of Staff (he cares deeply about this team and the responsibility that comes with the position) and now Program Director. I can't wait to see where he takes this thing. Founding fellows + speakers lineup looks stacked!

Couldn't be more excited to finally unveil our first position-based Fellowship to the world. And incredibly stoked about the Founding Fellows and Speakers you managed to put together. This thing is going to be 🔥🔥🔥

CoS are the glue of a company. But it’s often thankless and isolating work. Building a community around it for knowledge sharing and support will be incredibly high leverage - super excited for this one! 🙌

Very excited for this! All the best @rishi_tripathy!
