Pivoting and Staying Alive
One of the startups I invested in decided to pivot this month and was already working on his next product, from web3social to social for teens. Frankly, after listening to his pitch, the product seemed even more appealing than before, and they were taking on a very interesting area: a new social networking site for teenagers.
With their speed, I am sure they will do well, and when the cryptocurrency/web3 market recovers again, they can create a product to challenge it. I think it is important for them to stay alive even in the current weak market.
Probably early next month, a beta version will be available for test flights, which I will try to share with you in this newsletter.
I'll be publishing a weekly newsletter with a collection the latest news and activities. If you have any comments or feedback, just respond to this or my twitter!
