Slight correction to this statement: Startups that set out to make a great product are, on the whole, adored for their work, and often enjoy success as a side-effect. Startups that set out to make a great product are, when they get anywhere at all, adored for their work, and rarely, but sometimes with a lot of hard work and luck enjoy success as a side-effect. Just like bands, most startups (esp. the "built in a weekend" kinds) will probably end up being more of a labor of love than a true money-making venture. That's fine, but don't pretend otherwise.
