You might think that pivoting is something done only by the startups that don’t make it. In reality, a huge number of the best startups pivoted.

In this first episode of our new series, Office Hours, Y Combinator Group Partners share their favorite stories of entrepreneurs who pivoted and went on to build game-changing companies. The group of startup experts also share their own pivot stories and help answer the questions: How do you know if it’s time for your startup to pivot—and how will you know if that next idea is the one?
