That's kind of like asking, "What disputes can arise in a long-distance relationship?" It's naturally a pretty open question.

When you get into a startup, just like a relationship, you enter with a picture of a person that hasn't been through the full-on trial-by-fire. When you turn up the pressure and leave it that way for an extended period of time, cracks in that picture always start to emerge.
