A founder I spoke to last week spent 3 years learning everything about their industry.
Now they want to pivot to “AI for Dentists”.
The grass only looks greener because you’ve not trampled through the shit yet.
Positive users approve of AI for dentists and express excitement about onboarding pilot users, while negative users dismiss such pivots without domain expertise as misguided and urge building something real instead.

@t_blom That founder stories will add to the great pivot stories of Reddit, Dropbox, Retool and many more... here is glimpse of Dropbox
@t_blom The pain you don't want to repeat is the actual asset. Most founders pivot away from the moat they spent years building.
@t_blom Real estate is full of this. Guy finally learns comps, builds a crew, gets deal flow. Then sees someone post STR income and wants to start over from scratch.
@t_blom We funded the pivot, the deck had a nice font.
@t_blom Very vague of a pivot, there are so many pieces of a dental office that can be AI-ified. Acquisition, billing, reception, patient care, diagnostic analysis, etc. They seem they are in for some hurt.
@t_blom Trust me, that market has a lot of 💩 in it 😁
@t_blom every market truly sucks tbh
@t_blom AI for Dentists sounds like a good idea honestly
@t_blom My strategy plan.
⤵️
@t_blom We already have AI for dentist at home
@t_blom 3 years was the edge. Without it, they're just shipping another AI wrapper.
@t_blom Not AI for dentists! NOT THAT!
@t_blom Pivoting for 3 years only to land on AI for dentists is certainly an outcome
@t_blom That is exactly how execution fatigue blinds people. They mistake a generic trend for an easy win, throwing away three years of irreplaceable domain expertise just to reset their clock back to zero.
@t_blom My strategy plan.

@t_blom This is why wehn people say I should pivot into licensing my Agentic OS I look at them and go ... no - I am using it to super-power my Skincare brand - I have 10 years of expertise in skincare & enough technical knowledge to use AI to supercharge it - why would I pivot to AI SAAS
@t_blom This would definitely look green on a LinkedIn post 😂
@t_blom just delaying having to solve a distribution problem
