When queer business partners disagree about maintaining community focus while scaling

My business partner and I started our company specifically to serve LGBTQ+ clients, but as we've grown we're getting pressure to expand our market and tone down the queer focus, and we disagree about how much to adapt - they think we need to evolve to scale and I feel like we're talking about abandoning our core mission. We built this together but now we're on different sides.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that growth requires choices about identity and values that they never anticipated when they shared the same vision.
