How we keep DMC real.
DMC exists so founders can build real friendships, accountability, and momentum. These guidelines keep it safe, respectful, and human, on the app and at every meetup.

Impersonation
No fake profiles or pretending to be someone else. One account per person.
Misinformation
Don’t spread harmful falsehoods that create risk or disrupt meetups.
Falsely claiming a venue is unsafe to derail a meetup is not allowed.
Violence & sexual misconduct
No threats, stalking, assault, or sexual misconduct. Any verified history of such behavior may lead to removal.
Scams & fraud
No deceptive financial pitches or fake opportunities.
Pushing a fabricated investment scheme to your group violates our rules.
Sexual harassment

Sending explicit DMs to a member after a meetup is grounds for removal.
Spam
No bulk unsolicited messages, misleading links, or multiple accounts used to spam others.
Suicide & self-harm
Don’t glorify self-harm or eating disorders. Sharing your lived experience is welcome when done sensitively and with care for others.
Graphic violence
Don’t share gory or graphic content that makes others uncomfortable.
Meetup etiquette
A few simple rules to keep every meetup a good one.
Keep it simple
Meetups are 60–90 minutes, one activity, one time slot, in a public place. Show up on time, dress for the activity, be prepared.
Respect the format
You’re matched into a small group each cycle. Honor the group and the format.
Honor preferences
We strictly honor gender preferences. We expect you to do the same in communications and at meetups.
No selling to the room
Light professional context is fine. Hard pitching is not. Ask before sharing links or offers.
Substance use
Be considerate and legal. Never pressure others to drink or use substances.
Respect boundaries
Ask before photos, tagging, or sharing personal stories outside the group.
Attendance
Show up. If you can’t, say so.
No-shows
If you can’t make it, cancel within the allotted window so your group isn’t left waiting. Two or more no-shows may lead to suspension or ban.
No plus-ones
Your spot is for you only. Bringing unregistered guests can lead to suspension.
Safety on the day
Trust your instincts. Report anything that feels off.
Meet in public
Well-lit, public locations. Always.
Share your plan
Tell a friend where you’re going if that helps you feel safer.
Trust your gut
If something feels off, leave. Report it the moment you’re safe.
Something happen? Email support@the-dmc.com right away. Include screenshots, dates, and context. We act fast.
Privacy
Default to privacy. Don’t share personal info from your group without consent. Respect confidentiality around sensitive topics.
Inactive accounts
Accounts with no activity for two years may be deleted as part of routine data hygiene.
Updates
We review these guidelines as DMC grows. Continued use of DMC means you accept the latest version.
Reporting & enforcement
Your safety comes first. We use human moderators and automated tools to investigate every report. Violations may lead to content removal, warnings, temporary restrictions, or permanent bans. You can appeal any moderation outcome. We read every appeal.
