Scenario

When startup cohorts become performance theater

Our startup cohort meets monthly and we all share updates about revenue and user growth, but I've started to realize that half of us are probably inflating our numbers and the other half are downplaying our struggles. We're supposed to be supporting each other through this journey but instead we're performing success for people who are doing the exact same thing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A support group has devolved into mutual deception where everyone protects themselves from the vulnerability they originally sought.
