That's just completely obvious. If you're not having fun at a startup, you'll be miserable and you won't be doing your startup any favors.
I'm at my fifth startup now. All four previous ones have been both fun and profitable. My rule of thumb for joining and staying at a startup has been: have fun, believe that the company will produce something of value, be reasonably compensated. I have decided not to join (and have also resigned) when any of these failed to apply.
