It doesn’t matter what the motivations were for the founders once they take VC money. The purpose of tge company then becomes the exit.

Your personal sample doesn’t jibe with the literally thousands of even YC companies

You’re arguing something different than @latexr did, and picking a VC as your example makes sense here but fails to counter the fact that most startups aren’t VC funded. Still, you’re also like GP confusing VC motivation with founder motivation. It’s possible for founders to care deeply about the problems they’re solving, and for the company’s primary goal to be an exit, at the same time. Both can be true, contrary to what GP claimed.
