Framework - Community Guidelines

Framework is the world's first on-demand business school where Founders and Startups at different stages in their business journey can connect, learn and grow without fear of harassment, prejudice or discrimination. To ensure that the Framework community remains a safe space, we enforce the following Community Guidelines, and by joining this community, you agree to adhere to these rules or face removal from the community.

As a valued member of Framework, you pledge to act and interact in the following ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.

2. Framework members use polite, friendly and considerate language when interacting with each other.
3. Framework members share content, start conversations, and ask questions that will be helpful to the community.
4. Framework members help each other by providing constructive feedback to their questions and support each others' wins.
