Listen "The Market for Solutions with On Deck's Charles Cushing"
Episode Synopsis
Our discussion today centers on the “market for solutions”, a mental model that guest Charles Cushing explored in a 2020 essay he wrote where he wondered if there was a way to improve the market for solutions in order to make all downstream problems easier to solve.In Charles' view, On Deck’s mission is to help improve the market for solutions by bringing together capital, talent, and customers all into one place to make company formation happen.We get into the evolution and history of On Deck’s Founder fellowship through its different phases and iterations, and how On Deck became the place to go for founders to develop conviction, find co-founders, and validate their idea. We also get a look into some future offerings including “belief checks” for talented people who are pre-conviction that will help would-be founders get off the sidelines and into the arena starting companies.Hosted by Marshall Kosloff and produced by Jackson Steger
