About

66% of all tech founders get stuck strategically at least once during their journey. I've experienced this several times on my own in the past 20 years: 3 of my tech companies were suddenly severely limited in growth, to the point that they almost crashed. But we fought our way through these pivotal phases, till we had the companies completely repositioned or exited. What I learned: Life doesn't simply happen to you and your venture. With the right approach and support, chances are high to re-ignite a stuck company, and to turn it again into a break-out winner. Preventing companies of getting stuck - or working jointly through stuck situations and find a "Next New" is what we do at Pivotal AG: - For founders: they rely on us to prevent tough personal situations or navigate through pivotal strategic phases, and to find their role within. - For management teams and boards: they bank on us to search for fitting strategic investors or buyers. - For funds / CVC / family offices: they use our tools to early detect pivot risks in their portfolio. Feel stuck with your company? You are not alone. You are even part of the majority. Breakthroughs are possible, for you and your venture, too.
