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?

    Make your company an ethical startup. Put a % of your profits towards social issues/ speciality education. It can be part of your brand or separate from your business. Do your passion projects as you go, don’t wait until ‘after’ because life is too short to wait.

    I am tired of searching for funding. Or thinking about how to obtain.

    Obviously you may pursue another passion. I am sure you probably could delegate better or withhold time.

    Volunteer.

    Don’t know much. But there a reason you would have gone this far. Maybe find that by digging a little deeper.
