Is it just me or do other people also find the idea of pivoting after three months really troubling ?
I've seen two kinds of people creating start ups so far : business school guys and "real job" guys. The first type are really focused to one thing : making money. The second type have a passion for their skills and had an idea on how to improve something in their field.
The first type can pivot to about anything, because ultimately the product is just a mean of getting rich. The second type feels the need for their product in their every day life. So profitable or not, they really want that thing done.
Somehow i've always found the "real job" type the most interesting to work with.
Edit : business school guys doesn't mean you went to a business school. It's just a mind set. Same for "real job", i mostly mean passionate about one specific personnal need.
From what I gather from the last paragraph of the story, they found out they were doing something they didn't really care about. If that was the case, then pivoting is the only right choice IMO.
Sometimes you just have to try something in order to find out whether it's working for you or not.
