Basecamp is not a non profit. Of course they also care about making more money. If I recall correctly, everyone’s compensation there is based partially on profit sharing. They are feeding starving children in Africa.

And that’s not meant to be a value judgement. I think a company that has a business model of getting $x amount money from customers and spending $y where $x > $y is much better aligned with customers than a company where $y > $x, they are subsidized by VCs, and the company’s ultimate goal is to be acquired or pawn their money losing business off onto the public markets.

The key is to care about more than just money.
