When we told our first investors we were narrowing from enterprise HR to independent consultants, nobody clapped.
Smaller deals. Smaller checks. A market that, on paper, looked less impressive in every spreadsheet.
What the spreadsheet could not show was how fast that market moved, and how much they needed something nobody was building for them.
Two years later, that unglamorous pivot is the entire company. Sometimes the right decision looks like a downgrade until it is not.
