"Every successful startup has its ‘pivot’ moment. When you realize your original idea needs to change, it’s not failure—it’s evolution." I’ve spoken to many founders who’ve faced this. Knowing when to pivot is crucial to long-term success. How has your business pivoted in unexpected ways?

Breakthroughs come from breaking rules Dani Grant and her team were stuck. For the first eighteen months after launching their company, Jam.dev, which helps developers fix bugs, she and her co-founder, Mohd Irtefa, had zero users, despite lots of effort. After seven failed attempts, they blasted to 95,000 in under two years. What changed? They stopped adhering to the rules and expectations. For example, LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman famously said, “If you’re not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.” As Dani explains, “That was 15 years ago. There’s way more competition today. The project must be production-ready.” They decided not to release the eighth version until it was ready for prime-time and bug-free. My latest newsletter shares Dani’s longer story and the other rules they broke, from Eric Ries’s to Henry Ford’s, on the path to explosive growth. Big breakthroughs come when companies punt the playbook and lean into the improvisational interplay of ideas from the creators, alongside an earned sense of intuition and wisdom about what’s really needed.
