Entrepreneurs and investors love to talk about pivots that saved or elevated young firms, but hero stories about turning hay into gold don’t offer an accurate or instructive picture of how entrepreneurs wrestle with choices about whether or not to change. In this session, Professor Jacqueline (Jax) Kirtley and panelists Jeff Fluhr, ENG'96, W'96, General Partner at Craft Ventures, and Andy Friedman, WG'95, Managing Partner at Pin High Capital LLC and Founder and former CEO of SkinnyPop Popcorn, will discuss the thinking behind their own pivot decisions as well as how recent world events have led to choices to change, adapt, or persist.
