We didn’t walk into a war zone.
We were invited into opportunity.
But what started as a career move became something else entirely.
Behind the titles and funding rounds was chaos.
Missing contracts. Misdirected funds. Fear behind the eyes of people too used to being dismissed.
We were told we were lucky to be here.
That our questions made people uncomfortable.
That we should “stay in our lane.”
“No offense…
That was the lead-in right before being reminded I had no business doing the job I was already doing. But the job still had to get done.
So we did it. Quietly.
Without authority. Without protection.
And without compromise.
It wasn’t just dysfunction. It was sanctioned avoidance.
Every time we flagged something, we were met with spin.
And when it became too obvious to ignore?
They cut the cord not because we failed, but because we saw too much.
We stayed long enough to see the patterns.
Long enough to know this wasn’t a one-off.
We could’ve left bitter. We didn’t.
We left better.
Not louder. Not more polished.
Just clearer about who we are, and what we refuse to be part of.
Integrity isn’t a brand value. It’s a survival mechanism.
And when people around you are bending the truth for convenience,
integrity becomes a quiet form of rebellion.
We didn’t start The Projekt Co. to prove anything.
We started it to protect what matters.
We don’t cut corners.
We don’t stay quiet when something’s wrong.
And we never forget what it feels like to be the person holding the weight while others look away.
That’s the edge.
Not speed. Not hype.
Conviction.
The Projekt Co. was built in the fire. That’s why it holds up.
