This is such an awesome format, my favorite content from YC over the years has been authentic partner discussions like this. At a startup school event years ago Paul and Sam held on-stage YC office hour / interviews and they were so compelling to watch. Alls that to say—more inside office hours / partner discussion content!
@iojag7508
Great idea adding a quick resume for each speaker! Love this format!
@martinstine
Thanks to YC and everyone for sharing your knowledge on pivoting. Much appreciated.
@MubashirullahD
This is the kind of video youd pay money for. Its gold.
@yaagbz
Great to hear stories of pivoting - are there any stories where the pivot was not so drastic and the company shifted within the same industry/problem?
@MrAlbertSi
Love this new take from Gary Tan
@GChizo
Great info.Thanks

One of my favorite and effective pivot using the idea space is Mintlify (YC W22). They quickly understood that their product could only attract free users and was unable to acquire paying customers. Consequently, they iterated around the idea of documentation and launched a business-oriented documentation service, which has become quite popular. Now, I see many businesses using it.

@s1cktastic
So good. YC content is so high quality now.
@peterbloomingdale
Very nice video. Wondering if there are any examples of pivots where the problem has stayed the same, but the business strategy/product to solve that problem was the pivot.

Founder - Idea fit is important. Are you the right person for the job.
@albertcona6499

Hmmm... very informative! On a different aspect, it then begs the question if one looks at the stats of selection ratio for applications to combinator it is around 1-2%, then success rate of ycombinator startups is around 10%, and assuming around 25% startups pivot (I don't see any published numbers on pivot vs success), then does it make sense to experiment if a complete random selection of startup applications would also yield a comparable outcome in terms of startup success 🤔
