I’m ceo and cofounder of my startup. Currently going through techstars. The product is good, has really good traction, solving a big problem in an industry I don’t care about. I have deep passion for social issues and specially education.

The only thing that motivates ALOT me about my current company is that we can make a lot of money so I can just eventually leave and do something I’m passionate about with that money.

Am I doomed?

    For what it’s worth, you’re not alone. I’m going through the exact same process.

    I had a product that tried to shoehorn a good-vibes/passion solution into a business problem. Nobody wanted it, but they did start asking about how it could help them solve a much less appealing problem. So now we have that and I feel less invigorated when someone asks me about it.

    But I’ve decided that my goal is to create the best possible opportunity for as many people as possible. My passion is now helping employees build wealth through a stake in our outcome.
