How many times did you "pivot" your product ?

by•

I'll go first. I have changed positioning and approach for buska at least 3 times. Not counting how many messaging changes I made on the website 😅 What about you ?

Hey Toni, we have pivoted from a b2c fintech platform to a b2b saas platform for AI Agents. It was a complete 360 degree turn for us but me and my team are so glad for the flexibility we had!

I don't think we've pivoted yet at Artus, but we've made significant evolutions of the product several times to the point where it can be considered a different product altogether. Some might call them pivots but to us they just felt like the next logical step.

@aignise thanks for sharing. Indeed, call it whatever, as long as you don’t shy away for making changes 🚀

1 time! Previously we at Pusaqa planned to launch locally as our very first plan, after we go further in time (with many things in-between & discussions & re-evaluation as well), we planned to pivot our product to a global direction :) Can check at https://pusa.qa :D

Definitely had my share of pivots. Each one feels like a big shift but often leads to breakthroughs. How do you keep your team motivated during these changes?

It's been done twice now, the first time changing the way the product is used and the second time changing the overall design of the product

We have done two major pivots. They really help us adjust to market demands and improve our product significanctly

Soo far, we haven't pivoted. Might be something we have to do soon.

I’ve had to pivot once. It was a huge learning curve, but ultimately it led to much a stronger product.

I’ve pivoted three times so far. The first was tough, but it got easier once I embraced that it’s part of the process.

Do you start a new product or make improvement based on current product when pivoting?
Toni
@allan_ryl can be anything really. Often it's making changes to your product because you realized you are not solving the right problem, or addressing the right target. Or go sideways and turn the initial product around to answer new needs.
