i can’t think of any great founder who was in it for the money
Show this thread
It varies over time. There are founders who are in it for the money in their first startup, but not in their second. Often their motives change in the course of one startup.

Even if their first startup fails and they haven't made much money?

Suspect yes, having realised that their former motivation contributed to the failure

I have seen this transformation in founders but I consider the founders that can go through multiple start ups and still be only about the cash to be broken. It should always be about serving customers. Profits are a side effect of sustainably servicing customers, not the goal.

If any founder wasn't in it for the money, they wouldn't sell the companies or they would sell them for free. I'd argue that most of them are in it for the money amongst other reasons. The key is that being in it for the money is not seen as a bad thing.

Were you motivated by money when you created your startup?
