Keen On… Loic Le Meur: Why Seesmic Isn’t a Failure (TCTV)

"If you don't adapt, you die," Loic Le Meur told me when he came into the TechCrunchTV studio last week. And Loic - aka monsieur Pivot - is certainly one of the Valley's most skilled adaptors. Having founded Seesmic in 2008 as a video aggregation network, he then transformed it the next year into a popular consumer Twitter client before shifting it earlier this year into a Salesforce and Softbank backed enterprise CRM tool. The pivot, of course, is the thing these days. And Le Meur - perhaps because of his skill as a wind surfer - is a master of sniffing changes in the business environment before anyone else. In contrast with Catarina Fake and Philip Kaplan , Le Meur is strongly opposed to what the calls "the disposable start-up." For him, he has a moral obligation to his investors at Seesmic (which include Mike Arrington) to adapt the company to the new environment - even if that sometimes means transforming the company into something unrecognizable from its previous incarnation.
