WeWork is a huge success
Indeed. For all the platitudes otherwise, the vast majority of startup founders do this primarily because they want to become rich. Judging a startup by any other metric is at the end of the day at least somewhat disingenuous.
If all you know about two startups is that in startup 1 the founder exited the company with $10 million in his bank account and in startup 2 the founder exited with $750 million in his bank account, which would judge the bigger success?
