Our Values

Founder First

Every decision starts with one question: “Will this help the founder?” This is their space to learn, plan, and grow.

Integrity Always

We give honest, transparent advice with no hidden agendas. Trust is our currency, and we protect it fiercely.

Zero Pitch Zone

The SMC+ is not a marketplace for services. Experts are here to give, not sell. Advice is shared freely, without expectation or agenda.

Grow Together

We believe the ecosystem thrives when we work together. This is a place to share ideas, spark collaborations, and lift each other up.

This is where you need to go when your startup doesn’t quite “look” or feel the part yet. You can discuss topics like:

 

  • Visual identity (logos, colour palettes, brand consistency)

  • Brand tone of voice (how you sound across channels)

  • Brand story (founder narrative, mission, vision)

  • Naming (for companies, products, features)

  • Graphic design (templates, social media assets, pitch decks)

  • Brand guidelines (creating or refining a brand kit)
