Silver Birch Growth Launches Research Collective for Executives to Navigate AI and Digital Growth Strategies Without the Sales Pitch
In a market craving discreet access to knowledge without salespeople, the Collective shares opinions and saves on buying direct, thanks to rebates for valued input.
"This ends up being one of the most profitable ways for founders to grow, while gaining high-value customers who give valued feedback," Founder Randy Gilling said.
Consulting contracts often add undue cash outlay-appeasing legacy business models like professional services. SBG has assembled senior operators who have actually run companies and faced tough calls. These people get on calls with brands at no cost, and are available fractionally in addition to being contributors for product research. SBG earns through wholesale deals with Founders building great tech, displacing expensive sales and marketing overhead required to scale sales. Brands and C-suites join a free but need to qualify. They get priority access to resources, visibility into how solutions are being adopted at peer companies in their markets, and they get to spot unicorns before everyone else knows about them. SBG has trusted technical partners for fast onboarding and integrations where needed so strategy-confident leaders can avoid the anxiety of execution risk with solutions they adopt.
Beyond research, members often lead hands-on growth projects, support technology rollouts, and shape go-to-market strategies for brands across the ecosystem-ensuring that insights from the Collective directly drive execution and measurable results
Media Spotlights: Founders featured on SBG's Rapid Traction podcast, (listen at https://open.spotify.com/episode/4xUP1NxmSG7KgZ2fFwh9Zn?si=3137c4f7ee294f10).
Proprietary Scoring Edge: Powered by SBG's scorecard system, evaluating critical factors like product market fit, founder mental toughness, AI readiness, sales velocity, revenue scalability, and comes with SBG network demand validation estimating possible imminent market interest for products. It quantifies unicorn potential, validates products & services, and for winners comes with a scoring by SBG coupled with a qualified pipeline of actual buyer interest.
"The SBG Collective cuts through the noise in a market flooded with sales pitches. Their vetted network gives us early access to game-changing tech, direct founder dialogue to shape solutions around real needs, and the opportunity to help other brands capture value from innovations that actually work," Rick Egan, Riviera Marketing Fractional CMO
SBG may hold business ties with covered entities, including wholesale agreements and future investments via an internal private capital initiative. Disclosures appear in all research notes for full transparency.

Accord Announces Amendment to its Banking Facility
Article content TORONTO — Accord Financial Corp. (TSX – ACD) today announced it has amended its senior secured revolving credit facility (the 'Credit Facility'), extending the maturity date to December 15, 2025. Article content This amendment follows two recent short-term extensions: the first announced on July 25, 2025, and the second on August 8, 2025, which extended the maturity date to August 15, 2025. Under the new terms, the total commitment will be reduced from $260 million to $200 million. The amendment also incorporates milestones tied to potential asset sales (with net proceeds to be used to repay bank indebtedness), increases the interest rate on drawn amounts by 1.00%, and updates certain financial covenants. Article content 'While the amendment includes higher pricing and a reduced commitment, the extension provides time for the Company to continue to actively pursue a broad range of strategic initiatives to address the Company's maturing debt obligations (totalling $217.6 million as at June 30, 2025 and coming due by January 31, 2026) and maximize shareholder value,' said Mr. Hitzig. 'These include potential divestitures of portfolio assets or business units, as well as other financing alternatives. The Company continues to work closely with its financial advisors, but there is no assurance that these initiatives will yield a successful result. While we focus on these initiatives, profitable operating performance and growth will continue to be a challenge.' The Company does not plan to provide further updates on its strategic initiatives unless material developments emerge.
