COMMON QUESTIONS

Silent Rich is a private community of successful connectors, entrepreneurs, politicians, and those who value the power of strong, mutually beneficial professional relationships. We respect the privacy and discretion of our members and will not share names, companies, or private information unless explicitly given permission to by each member.

Silent Rich is proudly based in Austin, Texas, United States with an expanding membership located throughout the globe.

We encourage anyone interested in the Silent Rich community to participate in an introductory interview to learn how you can best benefit from community membership.  Applications will be approved as long as the applicant is accurately representing themselves professionally, and has no known associations with scams, high risk investments, or otherwise unethical business practices.

Our members come from a variety of industries and typically include founders, partners, and/or senior executives from already established companies. Additionally, we have a number of members who have since retired from those positions, but who are still highly active in their respective industries and maintain close relationships with key people.

Silent Rich members are primarily from the United States, but they also live in countries around the world.

Silent Rich has strict rules against disclosing your member information unless you explicitly agree or request us to do so (i.e., by agreeing to an introduction, participating in a mastermind group, attending an event, posting an opportunity, etc) or as required by law.

We don’t allow Silent Rich members to directly push their products or services onto other members through our channels. Instead, we encourage Silent Rich members to focus on building meaningful relationships with one another, while also sharing what they do professionally, what problems they need help solving, and to explore mutually beneficial ways to help one another.

This may well lead to selling products or services to another Silent Rich member, but it shouldn’t be the sole focus of any post or conversation on our platform. After all, no one joins Silent Rich to get a bunch of advertisements or to be on the receiving end of salespeople.

We will spend approximately 30 minutes getting to know each other and learning more about your business, what you are working on, and what your needs are. We will use this information to recommend ways to maximize your membership, both right away and over time.

All information shared will be added to your internal member profile so that we can keep track of potentially relevant opportunities, introductions, upcoming events, and other ways to help enhance your business.

Silent Rich events are thoughtfully designed to meet the specific needs of each industry and group of people who attend. As long as you meet event criteria, and the event isn’t at capacity, you’re welcome to it. Silent Rich members may participate in one Mastermind series at a time.

Absolutely! We will introduce you to other members based on your criteria and their willingness to meet new people. We can’t guarantee that any one member will be inclined to attend all events or be introduced to anyone who asks.

Your annual membership will automatically renew unless otherwise requested. Silent Rich will send you a notice 30 days prior to renewal. If you do not want to continue membership, simply notify us.

We regularly update our list of upcoming mastermind groups in the Silent Rich members area, include the information in our weekly updates and will reach out directly for any groups that are potentially of special interest to a given member.

To participate, simply reply to any of the above listings or contact your membership manager.

We aim to assemble a group of people with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and relevant experience for each mastermind group. All mastermind members will meet or exceed the criteria listed in the mastermind group description.

Please share your ideas for Mastermind group topics! We’re always eager to improve our program, so we’ll gladly facilitate any topics that will benefit our members.

Each Silent Rich mastermind will include specific guidelines and criteria, but all attendees will be required to adhere to the Silent Rich membership rules.

Silent Rich encourages members to submit-for-publishing important asks that they and their businesses are currently looking for — which often includes needing an introduction to someone who can make it happen, in exchange for compensating the member who successfully made the connection in some way.

While ultimately between the members who are facilitating the arrangement, an opportunity includes offering compensation for successfully assisting that can range from referral percentages, flat cash, trades, equity points, or anything else they can imagine and come to an agreement on.

Silent Rich accepts asks and opportunities from all established businesses who are promoting a specific and tangible request (i.e., strategic partnership, distribution, paid assistance, and anything directly relevant to their business) and who aren’t considered to be high risk, as a promotion masking as a request, and/or against our terms of service.

Many members prefer to keep their asks confidential and not publicly disclosed. We offer the option to have asks and opportunities be kept entirely offline, to be redacted until you approve full information being shared, or to be fully listed online.

Silent Rich has a strict and thorough vetting process for all new members, as well as for all related requests. This helps to ensure that all content published by Silent Rich is of the highest quality. While Silent Rich takes great measures to protect the integrity of asks and related content published by members, all members are responsible for their own due diligence and for the ultimate outcome of requests.

Silent Rich is not responsible for any agreements or financial commitments made between members. Members are responsible for conducting due diligence, complying with all applicable laws, engaging in appropriate financial transactions, and any other aspect of agreements and transactions.

Upon being notified of a member not falling through with agreements and obligations, we will open an investigation into whether or not to revoke their membership and/or strictly limit their ability to interact with other members or attend events.

Double opt in means that both parties agree to be introduced based on the information they share. This includes replies to opportunities and requests to meet specific members.

Upon being notified of a member not falling through with agreements and obligations, we will open an investigation into whether or not to revoke their membership and/or strictly limit their ability to interact with other members or attend events.
