In that case investors will have to get good at identifying founders who are not driven solely by money. There are a lot of those too.

It's not like someone driven solely by money (think Gordon Gecko) is going to say 'okay okay, I have $5 million, that's enough for me!'

Also, if living comfortably was a founders goal, why would they start a company instead of getting a steady job working for a comfortable 6 figures at an established company?
