What is told has happened: a specific project and a specific person. It is the first clause of the tagline and the meaning of “the projects and those who start them up”.
Each piece starts from a named project and from the person who started it. Cases are not invented nor several merged into one. The fact (when, with what, what happened) comes before the adjective.
Honest voices
The one who starts up speaks, in their own words, and also says what went wrong or was not known. It is the second clause of the tagline and the meaning of “starting up, told by the one who starts up”.
The project's person is the one who tells, in the first person. The mistake, the doubt and what remains unresolved are left in. Quotation marks are reserved for literal quotes. The brand does not speak for them.
No bullshit
No posturing, no jargon and no inflated success story. It is the third clause of the tagline.
Direct, concrete sentences. If a sentence could be in a brochure, it is rewritten. No formulas or results are promised. Inflated words (“disruptive”, “benchmark”, “inspiring”) and the press-release tone are avoided.
Leitmotif
The asterisk: the small print of real entrepreneurship. It points to what never makes the headline, the effort, the risk and the failures, which is what really counts.

Variants, clear space and usage
The asterisk: the small print of real entrepreneurship. It points to what never makes the headline, the effort, the risk and the failures, which is what really counts.
Not like thisDo not distort or rotate the logo; do not add shadow, outline or effect to it; do not separate the S from the rest of the name or move the asterisk. On photography it only fits on a flat area where the chosen tone meets 4.5:1 with what is behind it.
On a light background, never the .W or .O.B variants (cream and white on #F4F4F4 are unreadable); on a dark background, never the color ones or the .B ones.
