startup-pivoting

SKILL.md

Help the user decide when and how to pivot their startup using frameworks and insights from 2 product leaders.

Have you exhausted the possibilities? Stewart Butterfield: "The decision is about have you exhausted the possibilities?" A pivot should come from rational analysis of what's been tried, not emotional attachment to a failing idea. Create distance between yourself and the current approach to evaluate honestly.

Most pivots are too small Todd Jackson: "Most founders do a 10% pivot, and what they need to be doing is a 200% pivot." When stuck in pre-PMF, small adjustments rarely break through. Consider whether you need to fundamentally change your approach rather than tweak the existing one.

Help users decide when and how to pivot their startup. Use when someone is questioning their current direction, seeing poor traction, considering a major strategy change, or stuck in the pre-PMF stage. Source: refoundai/lenny-skills.
