In the startup world, the "pivot" is glorified as a brilliant, company-saving maneuver. But what happens when it's the pivot itself that kills the company?

For every Slack that rose from the ashes of a failed video game, there are countless others that pivoted straight into a wall, burning their last dollars on a desperate, untested idea.This episode is a post-mortem on the pivot that failed.
