I'm not sure if it's right or wrong, but it certainly seems common. Exaggerating is part of business, and it happens in a lot of them. It's similar to lying on your resume...some people are hurt by it, some people are helped by it. There are a lot of factors involved (in this case, can you deliver the software they want). If your company delivers what's been promised, then it probably won't be a big deal. Legally, you probably aren't on the hook. It's unlikely that your company will agree to be audited so they probably aren't cooking their books. It's equally unlikely that they will sign contracts that contain false statements. I would rest easy if I were you - this sounds like part of the sales game. Your founders probably won't let it turn into a legal situation.
