Just wondering if you've forgotten what site you're on.
This is YC which exists to build companies whose main driver will always be profit.

There are companies who have come out of YC who have main drivers other than profit.

Yeah. E.g. cashing out and leaving the business to bagholders.

Weird thing to comment on, especially as it definitely is an example of something that a company may be focused on, rather than making a profit.

As opposed to Beeper?
I am reasonably sure that their main driver is profit which really means exploitation of people;
I consider their public arguments lies made up to cover up the fact that what they account for as profit comes from what are in the end some really ugly historical and traditional imperialistic (colonial, neocolonial, and occulted) practices
