Creating a safe, respectful, and valuable community for Melbourne entrepreneurs.
American Media Collective is built on trust, integrity, and community. Our platform brings together business owners, founders, and professionals who are generous with their knowledge and committed to mutual growth. These guidelines protect that environment.
They apply to all interactions across AMC—events, membership spaces, digital communication, and direct contact between members. If you participate in AMC events or programs, you agree to these standards. We designed them to be clear, fair, and aligned with our values.
Our goal is simple: create the most supportive entrepreneurial community in Melbourne. That requires respect, transparency, and accountability from everyone involved.
We expect all members, attendees, and partners to treat each other with respect. This includes how you speak, how you disagree, and how you follow up.
We’re building a culture of generosity. Every interaction should leave the other person feeling respected and valued.
AMC is not a sales floor. While business development is natural, aggressive selling undermines trust and damages the community.
We encourage relationship-first engagement. The best partnerships come from trust, not pressure.
Melbourne is diverse, and our community reflects that. We welcome entrepreneurs of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences.
Inclusive communities are stronger communities. We actively protect that standard.
AMC events often include candid conversations about business challenges, financial pressures, and strategic decisions. Confidentiality builds trust and enables deeper sharing.
Trust is our currency. Breaking confidentiality damages the entire community.
Our events are designed for meaningful engagement. Attendees are expected to participate respectfully and follow event guidelines.
We reserve the right to remove attendees who do not comply with these standards.
Whether in email, digital communities, or collaborative forums, the same standards apply.
We monitor and moderate community spaces to keep them valuable for everyone.
If you experience or witness behavior that violates these guidelines, please report it. We take all reports seriously and handle them confidentially.
Include as much detail as possible. We will investigate and respond within 3 business days.
We reserve the right to take action if guidelines are violated. Actions may include:
We aim to resolve issues fairly and proportionally, but we will prioritize community safety and integrity.
Community standards evolve. We welcome feedback on these guidelines and regularly review them to ensure they reflect the needs of our members and the values of our organization.
If you have suggestions to improve our guidelines, email hello@americanmediacollective.com with “Community Feedback” in the subject line.
Our community is only as strong as the respect we show each other. Thank you for helping create a supportive, high-integrity environment for Melbourne entrepreneurs.
