The first "start up" I worked at was Sun Microsystems (I joined the day after they went public :-) so maybe not a startup at that point). But I was (and am) good friends with a number of people who worked there before I did. Pretty consistently a number of people who did well from that got to a point where they had "enough" and didn't need any more so they switched to working on things that spoke to their values rather than places where they could "make a lot of money." I have found that pretty inspiring and a counter balance to what passes for a 'success story' in the press today.
