When business decisions expose unresolved foundational differences between partners

My co-founder and I disagree about whether to take venture funding but we keep having the same circular conversation without getting anywhere because we're actually arguing about deeper questions of what kind of company we want to be and what success means to each of us. We've never really aligned on those foundational things and now this funding decision is forcing us to confront that gap.
