Scenario

When investment partners have conflicting philosophies but won't address it directly

My fund partner and I have completely different investment philosophies but we keep pretending we're aligned and it's showing up in every deal we evaluate - we're either missing opportunities because we can't decide or we're making compromises that satisfy neither of our views. We've been dancing around this for eight months and our LPs are starting to ask questions about our deal flow.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are avoiding a fundamental disagreement about how to deploy capital while their professional reputation depends on appearing unified.
