Start-up Pivoting

Start-Up Pivoting is a strategic realignment process in which an entrepreneurial venture systematically changes its core business model, product offering, or market focus—while retaining its foundational organizational identity—as a deliberate response to validated learning, market feedback, or environmental shifts, thereby distinguishing it from incremental iteration, mere adaptation, or organizational failure.
