Scenario

When co-founders compromise their founding values during growth

My co-founder and I built this company on the idea that we'd create something different from the toxic startups we'd left, but now that we're scaling we keep making the same compromises we swore we wouldn't make. We tell ourselves it's temporary but every month we sound more like the people we used to criticize.

More people experience this than they realize.
