The goal of a business is to make money.

They got bought out. That presumably made them money.

How is that not a proper business?

Maybe that's the mindset that has to change.

I'm definitely an oddball, but I would rather want to be part of a business to serve people and solve problems. I don't want to be rich, just make enough be comfortable enough to work on the problems that I want to solve.

Maybe getting bought out on my first successful product affords me the freedom to do so.
