Fair enough. I might argue that a company can still have broader goals than just that, but I certainly admit that a company must make money at some point and to some degree! And clearly things do change somewhat if you're talking about a company with outside investors or a public company.

In our case, we are privately held by just the founders, so we only have to focus on "make money" to the extent that that supports out other goals. But we don't have to be the stereotypically ruthless, greedy, evil capitalist pigs who ruthlessly chase every cent they can grab, even it it means stealing from babies and old people, or whatever. :-)
