Startup Pivoting

refoundai/lenny-skills

This is basically a conversation framework for founders who are stuck and wondering if they should pivot. It walks you through the Four Ps (Problem, Persona, Product, Positioning) and pushes you to think bigger, drawing on advice from Stewart Butterfield and Todd Jackson. The main insight is that most founders pivot too little when they need a 200% change, not a 10% tweak. Use it when you're questioning your direction or can't find product-market fit. The questions are pointed enough to cut through the emotional attachment that keeps founders grinding on ideas that aren't working. It's not going to make the decision for you, but it'll help you be more honest about whether you've actually exhausted your options or just exhausted yourself.
