3M used to make sticky notes. Now they make composite helicopter armor as well.

When you need to pivot your startup, do it. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

    I still buy their sticky notes.
    Someday I’ll buy their helicopter armor, too.

    "Pivoting" is a meaningless corporate buzzword that needs to die.

    Companies like 3M "expanded" into other areas, sure. But they didn't just wake up one day, stop making sticky notes and start making armour instead.

    @AlmondSauce stop blaming tokens for your personal reasons probably emerged from the experience of dealing with toxic corporate personalities.

    @kamen I expected something from Silicon Valley, but I'm even more satisfied with this one.
