My co-founder and I started our company with the vision of eventually taking patient capital to scale our social impact, but now that we're actually talking to impact investors, we're realizing they have very different definitions of success metrics than we do. We're not aligned on whether to adjust our vision to match what investors want or hold out for investors who match our original vision, and it's creating tension about what compromise means versus what selling out means.
More people experience this than they realize.
