Startup Pivots

A startup pivot works when the product changes first and the brand changes last. In 75 scored pivots, 64% of the companies that moved the product first succeeded, and none that changed the brand before the product could back it did.

The Startup Pivot Playbook by Nitin Kumar sets out that order, and its companion PDF toolkit puts it to work with 30 worksheets and calculators, 75 scored pivot cases, 63 tables and figures and 24 chapter checklists. Add the toolkit to your cart with the paperback and the toolkit is free.
