There is definitely a get-rich-quick mindset that a lot of people enter the startup world with.

Thankfully, I think that segment is starting to dwindle as they realize they aren't getting rich quick.

That is the definition of the startup world.

No, seriously. The defining characteristic of a startup is that it's designed to grew its revenues many orders of magnitude faster than its expenses in anticipation of a very large exit. That is, quite literally, "get rich quick."
