When peer networks become competitive performance spaces

My startup cohort from our incubator stays in touch but it's become this weird thing where we all inflate our metrics and downplay our struggles when we update each other even though we're supposed to be supporting each other through the hard stuff. Everyone's fundraising or looking for opportunities so no one wants to seem like they're failing but it means none of us are getting real help anymore.

What we've seen

Everyone in your founder group pretends they're doing great, so nobody actually gets real help.
