We figured out that Conjunctured is different things to different people. And that’s what we love about what we’re doing.

“I believe if talented, passionate people team up in a fair environment, we will transform the speed of innovation and the happiness of our members.” -Dusty Reagan, co-founder Conjunctured

“As independents, we wanted a way to work for ourselves and still interact with others just like us. Since there was no way to do both before, we decided to create it.” -Cesar Torres, co-founder Conjunctured

“Conjunctured to me is about surrounding myself and collaborating with individuals passionate about their talents and personal freedoms.” -David Walker, co-founder Conjunctured

“The best thing we compete on is community. If you join, we get better.” -John Erik Metcalf, co-founder Conjunctured
