Ask HN: Should I pivot?

[_txa8]

My partner turned out to be greedy and jumped boat. My investors ditched me and my project has failed to gain traction yet, it has been over a year almost now. What should I do ? Should I pivot ? And if I pivot, how do i present this to investors ?

Are there intractable IP concerns as a result of the old partner and investors?

If not, your problem is "I don't have traction after a year." Without more information, it's hard to speak to that.

Did your partner and investors leaving have anything to do with your idea? Or was it the team?
