Laid off? Undervalued? Looking for a good job? Great Career?
It’s not only what you know. It’s who you’re connected to.
Social Capital Smart helps job seekers, parents, and youth build real relationships that open doors with real-person coaching, tools, and community.
The Real Story (Mark’s Moment)
Mark didn’t have a resume ready when he got laid off.
He had people.
- A director from a leadership training program called in a favor.
- A former coworker passed his name to a hiring manager.
- A friend sent him a freelance gig.
- An old boss said, “Let’s get you back in.”
That wasn’t luck. That was social capital.
And now we coach people like Mark every day.
Opportunity doesn’t live in a job board. It lives in your network.
Over 67% of jobs are found through people, not postings.
80% of opportunities are never advertised or are posted after the role is filled.
Schools test what you know, but not who you know - and that’s what opens doors.
The majority of venture funding goes to founders already connected to investors’ networks.

The Social Capital Smart Process
Big contact lists don’t build careers, strong relationships do.
Traditional networking and social media tools often fail because they overwhelm users with too many names, too little meaning, and no system for genuine follow-through.
Research proves it. Humans have cognitive limits, and the ability to maintain deep relationships is limited to around 150; most people interact meaningfully with fewer than 20.
That’s why the SCIP limits you to 50 high-value contacts and helps you go deep, not wide.
Build the relationships that build your future.
Step 1: Social Network Analysis
Discover the people and institutions already within reach. We’ll help you surface hidden connections and map your opportunity field.
Step 2: Social Capital Asset Index™ (SCAI)
Use our SCAI Tool to identify 50 high-potential individuals who can support your goals. Learn how to build authentic, mutually valuable relationships.
Step 3: Social Capital Investment Plan™ (SCIP)
Focus on a core group of 24 key contacts. With coaching and CRM support, apply five anchoring strategies to stay consistently and meaningfully connected.
Step 4: Return Through Relationships™
Shift from outreach to opportunity. Learn how to turn consistency into momentum—and build a legacy of purposeful, opportunity-rich relationships.
