In the startup world, the "pivot" is glorified as a brilliant, company-saving maneuver. But what happens when it's the pivot itself that kills the company?
For every Slack that rose from the ashes of a failed video game, there are countless others that pivoted straight into a wall, burning their last dollars on a desperate, untested idea.This episode is a post-mortem on the pivot that failed. We're dissecting the stories of companies that made things worse by abandoning their core mission without a life raft. You'll learn the difference between a strategic pivot and a panic-driven lurch, how to test a new direction for less than the price of a fancy dinner, and the critical signs that tell you when to persevere instead of pivot.
