It's exactly the opposite. The drive to found a startup (or several) comes out of an excruciating feeling of wanting to resolve something that is clearly broken. It comes out of the discontentment with the behavioral patterns that old paradigms instill in people. Out of the desire of wanting to show people can still marvel by doing something they're used to but in a completely better and awesome way.
Being a founder is an act of compassion - the other end of the spectrum of not being personal! It's also the stamp of a rebel. On the structural side, it's out of urgency. A feeling that you have to do it because you're not seeing any better.
It's also extremely pleasurable. You get to trigger your creative mode full speed. And one needs not to bother with the bombarding of demoralizing judgement. It is indeed a very personal experience of one who wants to share it with as many people as possible.
You could say it's a ride out of detachment as well. Detachment from the prevailing of holding onto the "should-s" of portraying the proper this and that. Detachment in the sense you need to be lighter than the seriousness which seems to want to invade the not so confident. It's lighter but intense and a trajectory of the authentic and courageous.
Oh, and btw, it's a lot of fun!
P.S. Did you notice I didn't even mention money here? It's because it's all about creating wealth. And wealth is when you're overflowing with something lots of people want! And in order to partake in it people gift you: with money :)
