The mark

How we run the Circle
Four things we hold to.
Give before you ask
Everyone brings something: a skill, an introduction, an honest answer.
Every city counts
Peshawar is where we start, not where we stop. We go where the builders are.
Recognition is earned
Awards go to founders who build and give back, judged on published criteria.
Respect in the room
No hard selling, no spam, no harassment. Members who break this leave the Circle.
