The document outlines different types of "anti-pivots" that entrepreneurs may attempt when pitching investors or justifying changes to their startup idea or business model. These include blind pivots without clear rationale, stealth pivots where the product is changed without notification, buzzword pivots using just the latest tech terms to attract investors, and pivot excuses based on superstitions rather than real market feedback. All lead the investor to still offer funding without reasonable validation of product-market fit.

Notas do Editor
- Pivoting has been up and down the Gartner Hype Cycle at least twice now. Sometimes it’s an accurate term to describe what entrepreneurs have to do to survive: adapt to customer feedback.\nHowever, sometimes it’s an annoying buzzword that is poorly understood and grating to the ears. In my constant search for good patterns for entrepreneurs to follow, and bad anti-patterns to avoid. So as a follow up to my Taxonomy of the Lean Startup Pivot, here is the Taxonomy of the Lean Startup Anti-Pivot. Complete with a piñata!\n(Special thanks to Mike Woloszynowicz - @mkbiz for coming up with the term “Blind Pivot” and inspiring this post.)\n\n
