Long story short, I used to be excited about the possibility of building something and earning significant money from it.I used to think a couple people making a couple million or even up to a billion is cool in some way.Building a startup seemed like a vehicle of social mobility. 2 or 3 million dollars is about the range where I can buy a really nice house, set up a basic farm and my to-be-born kids could choose education paths based solely on their interests.That s a lot more money than I or my parents ever had, but I honestly don t want more.If I sold a business in that range it would mean I built something that provided a dozen or so people with a decent livelihood in Central Europe, where I live.And boy, I was pumped about the idea. And I was ambitious, and still am.But seeing valuation rounds of tens of billions and now a net worth of a trillion dollars - million times million - it just feels like the game is eternally uneven and I can t in good conscience support these ideas anymore.I am the founder of a company. I want it to succeed. I don t want to become a billionaire, but I want the people that help me build it to have similar successes to mine.Is the founder s risk really that heroic or most of us in the can found a startup caste can usually go back to jobs that already pay well over average?If we succeed, I don t want my car or house to be 10x more expensive than of those people who joined me first.There s something seriously rotten about these numbers billions. Something so deeply flawed I can t even put a word on it.Given the excess of talent and opportunity we have, and I m aware I have both, our primary focus should be on giving something back to society. Those around us.Anyone else feeling the same way?
