I became one of the founding engineers at a startup, which worked for a little while until the team grew beyond my purview, and no good engineering plan survives contact with sales directors who lie to customers about capabilities our platform has.

Meh. I like it. The key is to not get emotionally invested and help make that transition to a bigger operation if things go well.
