When co-founders disagree about how to present their shared identity to stakeholders

My startup co-founder and I are both women of color but from very different backgrounds and we keep running into moments where we disagree about how to present ourselves to investors - she wants to emphasize our diversity story and I feel like that reduces us to a narrative instead of focusing on our actual innovation.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
