Scenario

When business partners have unequal personal debt from company investments

My co-founder and I both took personal debt to fund the company in the early days, but now that we're profitable she's paying hers off while I'm still drowning, and we haven't talked about whether the business should help me or if that's unfair to her. The inequality is affecting how we make decisions and how I show up, but bringing it up feels like asking for charity.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who shared entrepreneurial risks now face unequal consequences, creating an unspoken dynamic that affects their partnership and decision-making.
