Seek ended first with Kalis, Taylor, and Dyrdek being put on AWS, while Bjorn Johnston and Flo were put on AWS International and Alex was put on Habitat International. Then shortly after that, Colin and Danny hooked up to start Plan B with PJ, P Rod, and Ryan Gallant. I think they said something that since Seek went out of business unexpectedly, Colin and Danny figured it was as good of a time as any to restart Plan B.

I used to be really stoked on Seek so I vividly remember rereading the paragraph where they described all of those changes until I had it memorized.

I thought it was suppose to be more international....

Yeah always thought it was broadening the scope of what a DNA company could be to include euro/brasilian tech.
I thought it wasnt just him solo, shouldve stuck with my og thought.

it wouldve been sicker if they had just put some of those guys on workshop proper. it really did come off as some cheesy hip hop divison and i was really confused by the whole thing.

i always thought the image and direction of Seek was really rad, but the team never seemed to be very cohesive. It really seemed like they
picked a bunch of random dudes that were super good and didnt have the best sponsors. This was also when Habitat was huge so even if Seek was doing ok it was probably a bad decision money wise to put resources into the company.
The company had been in the works forever though cuz i heard Pitre talking about it around the time Dyrdek was about to get his shoe on DC,
i don't think there was a name or anything attached at the time though.
