Meet Pipo — The AI Strategy Companion Trained on 500+ Tech Startup Pivots

Meet Pipo: the AI companion trained on 500+ successful tech venture pivots.

Over the last two years, I’ve studied patterns across more than 500 tech companies that successfully navigated inflection points and pulled off profitable pivots.

I mapped what worked — and what didn’t. I uncovered repeatable mechanisms, red flags, and hard-won lessons.

The result was the Pivot Playbook, a framework I’ve used to help post-seed companies get unstuck and restart traction.


But Two Things Were Holding Me Back From Scaling This

  1. Manually gathering and analyzing data for each company took significant time.
  2. Recalling lessons from 500+ pivot cases while advising in real-time? Not humanly possible.

So I built Pipo.

Pipo is Pivotal’s AI-powered pivot and strategy companion. He’s absorbed and decoded pivot strategies from hundreds of tech startups — and now he brings that intelligence to the table, fast.

He’s not here to replace me — he’s here to deliver clarity, at speed.


🔍 What Happens When You Plug In

  1. Pipo gathers 1,000+ data points from your company to understand where traction is stuck.
  2. He detects patterns: misalignments in positioning, team cohesion, blind spots stalling growth.
  3. He matches your data against 49 proven pivot paths and recommends strategic moves fit for your stage.

Every recommendation is categorized into 3 actionable buckets:

  • EXECUTE: Moves to implement immediately to regain momentum.
  • EXPERIMENT: MVPs to test a new direction.
  • EXPLORE: Low-cost ideas to gather insights and unlock future upside.
