Scenario

When startup cohorts become toxic and competitive

My accelerator cohort was supposed to be this tight-knit support system but it's become weirdly competitive and people share fake metrics and celebrate each other's wins through gritted teeth. We're all pretending we're still friends while secretly keeping score and I think everyone knows it but no one will say it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group meant for mutual support has devolved into performative friendship masking real competition, leaving everyone isolated despite constant contact.
