2 days to go…

The world's biggest pivot was made in just 48 hours.

Instagram is a $100 billion company today.
But it wasn't born that way.

Just 2 days before launch they renamed their project from Burbn to Instagram and made one of the most successful pivots in history.

A pivot is a sharp change in a startup's direction.

Put simply:

The idea isn't working
Customers want something else
Or market demand has to be met with a different solution

Then the startup "rethinks everything" and changes its core direction, product or business model - that is a pivot.

We believe we can change your life in just 2 days too.

Have you set your reminders for 14 December, 20:00?
