1a. Come up with strawman idea. 1b. Come up with real idea. 2. Publicly "pivot"* on HN. 3. Funding?
A least there's a step two...
* Could we please declare "pivot" an exhausted concept and move on to the next start-up buzzword?

It irritates me because listening to MBAs speak is an exercise in suicide preparation, and starters are accumulating their own distinct but equivalent lexicon of fancy words that refer to simple, everyday concepts.
Interesting... why do you say so? I mean, yeah, the word is used a lot... but is that necessarily a bad thing? If people are taking the "lean" approach to heart, iterating and pivoting, and being more market focused, isn't that a positive?
Strangely enough, I love to rail against buzzwords myself (esp. "Web 2.0", "Web 3.0", etc.) but I never thought of "pivot" as a buzzword before... maybe it's a regional thing? Perhaps people who are in the Bay Area (or $WHEREVER) hear it more often?
