While I know that for some people in SV this may come as a shock but not every company is a ploy to use investor's money to pay yourself a fat salary for a year or two before declaring that grubhub for toilet paper is not a sustainable business model, laying off everyone and selling everything you scraped from your users cell phones to whoever will do the most harm with it.
Some companies actually optimize for making a sustainable profit by taking other people's money in exchange for delivering goods and services.
