Listen "Episode 0058 The Pain of a Pivot"
Episode Synopsis
Back in December 2024, Caleb & Chris got a chance to interview two tech entrepreneurs and learn about their really cool app, FoodScout! Now roughly a half year later, Caleb & Chris sit down with one of those two guys again, Damion Dehart, and hear a ruthlessly transparent update on their startup journey. The conversation highlights the challenges of pivoting a business, detailing the failure of their initial app due to high marketing costs and customer churn. Damion also discusses the abandonment of a second venture, a skill-based wagering app, one week before its launch, primarily due to a lack of capital. The episode then shifts to a discussion on their current endeavor, FoodScout Go!, a white-label online ordering system for restaurants.If you want to hear what pivoting a startup is REALLY like, be sure to check out this episode (and also Episode 36 for some context)! A SINCERE thanks to Damion for his authenticity, honesty, and willingness to share how painful (but necessary) a pivot can be!Special thanks to Indicium for editing this episode!
