We were on an incubator where the staff were insistent that all the start-ups be 'high-growth' rather than work towards simply surviving, as an initial goal. This meant the projects were pushed to being ambitious to the point of farce...The other two in my team started trying to appeal to this 'high growth' mentality by just making absurd claims about what the technology would be able to do (without anything actually existing yet) and I was the CTO, so I got a bit annoyed by this and eventually just had to start saying 'look this is totally ridiculous now'. They said they didn't want to work with me if I wasn't willing to do it. I just said I can't do it so there's no point. I went to work at a consultancy for a bit and now I'm a research associate at a university. I have no idea what happened to the business in the end. I guess they just slowly died without proper tech staff.
