Our mission is to help more people start better startups. ODF is a program we created over four years ago to help those at the exploration stage of starting a company. So far, weve helped over 1000 companies get started and raise over $2 billion. Starting a company is really exciting, but there are so many things you need to figure out in order to actually build one. - "Who might I start my company with?" - “What might we build?” - “Who might our initial customers be?” - “Should we raise funding soon, or should we try to bootstrap in the beginning?" These and many more questions are what we refer to as the "missing pieces"—the things you need to figure out to know if starting a company is right for you and what company you should ultimately build. With ODF, we bring together 80 to 100 people who are at the very same stage as you. Theyre all exceptionally talented, and theyre all trying to figure it out together.

threadfork is a local-first meeting transcription tool for macOS. Your audio is processed entirely on your device using on-device AI. Theres no cloud uploads, no third-party servers, and no data you cant locate on your computer. Most AI transcription tools send your audio to the cloud. That works fine for team standups but doesnt work when confidentiality actually matters. Built for professionals with confidentiality stakes: - Consultants whose clients expect discretion - Practitioners bound by ethics codes and professional standards - Teams in regulated industries where data handling matters - Anyone whos ever hesitated before hitting "record" on a cloud tool What you get: - Accurate transcription running locally on Apple M1+ - Speaker detection so you know who said what - Searchable meeting history — find the exact moment something was said - Summaries and insights generated on-device, not in someone elses cloud Why local-first? Privacy policies change. Breaches happen. The only way to guarantee your meeting data stays private is to never send it anywhere in the first place. threadfork isnt "privacy-friendly." Its private by architecture. Theres no server to breach because theres no server. Were a small, independent team building tools for people who take confidentiality seriously - and whove been waiting for AI meeting tools to catch up.

A data privacy platform that allows users to redact, anonymize, or swap-in synthetic data in place of personally identifying information (PII). Dont let your private data be exposed to OpenAI
