** How to pivot your startup successfully=F0=9F=99=8C
------------------------------------------------------------
When you're running a business=2C it's vital to be able to embrace change=
and be flexible. As we discussed at our MeetUp in May=2C adaptability is=
an essential part of the founder role. In 2020=2C the ability to adapt yo=
ur startup's offering has taken paramount importance. One of our startups=
who knows how to do this is beauty-tech startup=2C Ruuby (https://www.vir=

Originally=2C the business was developed to offer a curated list of salon=
appointments via a mobile app. While they remain a tech-enabled beauty bo=
okings platform=2C they now focus solely on at-home beauty services.
Founder=2C Venetia Archer=2C faced many challenges when pivoting her start=
up. From managing two business streams at the same time and judging when w=
as best to make the leap=2C to saying no to deals that wouldn't work after=
the pivot=2C we spoke to the founder about how to manage the difficult re=
ality of pivoting.
Venetia said:
"As an entrepreneur=2C it can be hard to close the door on a business you=
=E2=80=99ve spent so much time and energy working on. But=2C there is a fr=
eedom that comes with having a platform that is dynamic and young enough t=
o change with the market=2C or in response to external factors. My advice=
is to do it slowly. Test it out without isolating your existing clients a=
nd ensure you are as dogged and educated on the new concept as you were on=
the original."
Venetia shared her tips for founders looking to pivot and change their bus=
iness models over on our blog (https://www.virginstartup.org/how-to/how-ch=
