Scenario

When business partners face pressure to compromise their founding values

My co-founder and I started this company with shared values about treating employees well, but now we're successful enough that investors are pushing us toward practices that feel like they compromise everything we said we cared about. We keep having the same circular conversation about 'what we can afford to do' versus 'who we want to be' and neither of us wants to be the one to say we should just give in.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who built something together on shared principles are discovering that external success creates internal moral conflicts they didn't anticipate.
