Anonymised. Real engagements. Real decisions.

Decision: Kill

Killed it. Saved €80k.

HR-tech SaaS founder. Core assumption: HR managers would buy a tool that surfaces at-risk employees early. 8 interviews in 3 days. They wouldn't — not without IT sign-off, not without a 6-month procurement cycle. He was 3 weeks from signing a dev contract.

Saved€80k

Decision: Pivot

Hired a contractor. Kept the equity.

Non-technical founder, 7 days from granting 10% equity to a founding engineer. Validation sprint showed 60% of the core product was buildable with no-code tools. Hired a specialist contractor for the remaining 40%. Still owns 100% of the company.
