The Hard Pivot

The Hard Pivot is a podcast where founders share their pivot stories—the tough decisions, challenges, and turning points that reshaped their companies. Inspired by the responses Zach got after publicly sharing Draftboard’s pivot journey, this podcast dives into the critical moments of change: when founders realized something was wrong, how they communicated with investors and teams, and how they charted a new course forward. Each episode offers honest insights and lessons from those who’ve faced the uncertainty of a pivot and emerged with a new path.

Sequence with Gilad Uziely

Wednesday Jan 08, 2025

Gilad Uziely is the co-founder & CEO of Sequence, a fintech startup backed with $7.5M from Aleph & Emerge Ventures that’s changing the way small businesses manage & utilize their cash flow.
But before Sequence, there was Lance, a neobank Gilad & co-launched that got to tens of thousands of business customers before calling it quits. So what happened?
Join us for this first episode of The Hard Pivot podcast as Gilad tells the story of how Sequence - like a phoenix - grew out of the ashes of the once-heralded Lance.
