Less than 30 days ago Ripple announced major brand changes for their product fleet, dropping the established names for xCurrent, xVia and xRapid as the new comprehensive name of RippleNet encompasses all three.

The word “pivot” in the tech startup community has traditionally invoked disparate, yet passionate reactions.

“Pivot believers,” are quick to justify their point-of-view by referencing household name tech brands, like Pinterest, Groupon and PayPal, that have successfully navigated through one, two or maybe even three pivots. Often, many pivot believers have actually never been involved in a pivot themselves; rather, they simply embrace the doctrine that most companies, no matter the industry, don’t get ‘it’ right on the first try.

“Pivot deniers,” in contrast, shiver and shake at the very letters that spell the word. Their sentiment is perhaps driven by experience, but more likely it is ego, cynicism or overt frustration. Pivot deniers, by nature, don’t easily deal with change and are less likely to embody the startup pillars of flexibility and poise under pressure. As such, deniers associate a pivot with weakness, either in leadership, technology or strategy, or a combination thereof, and they are quick to reference pivots gone wrong, such as MySpace, Joost and Friendster.

The reality is that there are some truths to both pivot believers and pivot deniers opinions. Let’s face it – pivots are not ideal, but are sometimes essential to a tech startup’s survival, and are certainly not an indicator of imminent failure.
