Ask HN: Any advice on pivoting out of VC-backed tech?

Summary

I'm exploring moving away from work with VC-backed B2B SaaS startups and towards working with B2C businesses on Main Street.For anyone else who's felt inclined to make a similar pivot - any advice? Particularly when it comes to remaining challenged, informed, and translating valuable hype-cycle concepts to people who don't care about hype.While it's interesting to play with shiny toys, helping investors make money by creating products related to the hype-cycle de jour that get used by other B2B SaaS companies just feels soulless.(My background is in GTM systems and data analytics mostly, but I think the question applies to anyone)
