🔥 A new opportunity on the horizon! Team @asif_

🔥 A new opportunity on the horizon! Team @asif_ventures is hosting another edition of their Failure Nights. This edition will focus on the art of pivoting:

Pivoting has a bad rep. Despite some of the most successful startups, including Slack and Instagram, having pivoted in their early days, it is sometimes seen as a last-ditch effort to save a failing venture.

With this event, ASIF Ventures is hoping to reclaim pivoting, and prove to you that pivoting is an art and that failure is part of a crucial learning curve.
