When idealistic teams face the reality of compromise

Our startup team came together because we all believed we could change the world, but two years in we're just trying to survive and none of us wants to admit that we've compromised on everything we said we cared about. We're all pretending we're still idealistic when really we're just scared and tired.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is mourning the gap between their aspirations and reality but cannot grieve together because acknowledging the loss feels like giving up.
