Pivoting. ⬇️ Ask me anything. @peter and I are 10x bullish on the next product. we may keep the name @perl since our north star remains the same - creating a vetted internet).

what was the moment or feeling that made you decide to pivot? how did you justify the timing? (ie. how’d you handle the tension between giving enough time to experiment vs. killing the idea before you exhaust resources)

What told you this isn’t it? What was your process for looking at the next thing? What process changes will you make if any?

How do you decide what to keep and what do discard? Do you need a clean slate, or can you keep chugging along in the same workspaces?

As someone who has never built a successful business, I’m curious to hear about the chain of events and inclinations that preceded your decision to pivot and conscious recognition to own that decision. Can you describe the process leading up to the “pivot crystalization” moment?

can you contrast your experience launching on twitter vs FC? was there any difference in engagement / traction? do you believe adding the former was a positive or a waste of time in hindsight?

What was the assumption you had when you started Perl that turned out to be wrong (hence the pivot)?

Gonna miss Perl as it currently is 😱 Will the current Perls on profiles be wiped? Is there a way to save or export?

Just leaving this here in case you can use a hand with strategy, positioning, messaging – or simply getting extremely clear fast & in detail about your pivot. Free (!) beta closing in the next couple of weeks but leaving it open for fitting projects in the FC community a bit longer. 🙃 https://tally.so/r/m6Dpjo

How did you arrive at the decision and as a founder how do you figure if it’s a proposition problem, a distribution problem, or a product problem when you are seeing slow adoption?
