Mejuri pivoted to AI-generated slide decks and growth took off, now valued in billions

From dunkhippo33's investing thread: Mejuri started as a crowdsourced jewelry design platform that never took off; the founder pivoted to designing pieces herself and selling direct—today it's valued in the billions.
The key second inflection came with the AI wave: the team jumped on it, asking "what if we just used AI to make slide decks from scratch?" Users got it instantly and growth took off. His point: even great founders only break out when they land on something with natural market pull.
