Although they may want it for a myriad of reasons, most founders probably want to get rich. From http://paulgraham.com/start.html:

And that's kind of exciting, when you think about it, because all three are doable. Hard, but doable. And since a startup that succeeds ordinarily makes its founders rich, that implies getting rich is doable too. Hard, but doable.
