Mayor Bloomberg Steps Up to Bat #MadeinNY

It was a pretty epic week for the On Deck Team. CEO Noah Breslow was featured in Forbes; we announced our Colorado: Let’s Grow Together winner r+d Wine Shop; and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg officially “opened the doors” to our new offices at an inaugural press conference. With our rapid growth – increasing employee count by 100% and doubling our office size – the Mayor underscored On Deck’s contribution to the booming New York City technology industry. Alongside the Mayor, we were honored to be joined by NYC Chief Digital Officer Rachel Haot (the brains behind the #madeinny campaign), New York State Senator Brad Hoylman, and Joseph Ciriello, the owner of Dirty Bird To-Go (an On Deck customer) . To celebrate the new office launch, we’re giving one deserving NYC-based business $10,000 – visit our Facebook page for more details.

We started the event by welcoming the Mayor to our new NYC headquarters.

After the press conference concluded, we gifted the Mayor an On Deck baseball bat – he joked that he’d take it to opening day at Yankee Stadium!
