we are.

Truss Company · Since 2023

“We bring people
together in the morning.”

TRUSSCOMPANY is the company behind Seoul Morning Coffee Club (SMCC). Before the workday begins, SMCC hosts coffee chats, runs, reading sessions and raves at local cafés across Seoul.

Around this community, we run a platform for finding and hosting meetups, a store for program tickets and merchandise, and morning programs created with brands.

Hosts lead the meetups, cafés open their doors, and brands join in. We connect them all.

  • 01 / Open

    Not exclusive

    No membership, no joining fee, no requirements. Anyone who wants to come can join, on whichever day suits them.

  • 02 / Morning

    Before work

    Meetups happen in the morning, before work. We spend about an hour together, then everyone heads off into their day.

  • 03 / Local

    Real places

    We meet in person at local cafés in Seoul. Cafés that open early set the stage for every meetup.
