Did you know YouTube started as a dating site? Or that Twitter began as a podcasting platform?
The truth is — even the best companies succeed by pivoting with purpose.
In this DECODE session, Shuo Chen (former founder, investor, and Stanford/Berkeley lecturer) breaks down 3 key tactics for running a successful pivot:
1️⃣ Focus on one lever at a time (problem, persona, promise, product)
2️⃣ Validate your assumptions with real experiments
3️⃣ Get your team aligned behind the new direction
Learn from real examples like Airbnb, Plaid, Ironclad, and Lattice.
