Scenario

When startup peer groups can't handle real failure

Our startup cohort from the accelerator stays in touch and everyone posts about their wins but when someone's really struggling we don't know how to talk about it.

More people experience this than they realize.

A community built on shared ambition lacks the tools to process shared vulnerability.
