But we’re spending a massive amount of resources catering to the 1%. Am I being naive to believe in a grander mission?

Hi Dan,

I work for a startup that is also catering to a very niche community and the question that you put up there -

"... But we’re spending a massive amount of resources catering to the 1%. Am I being naive to believe in a grander mission?"

comes up in my mind often. I would love to know your views regarding this question. While I feel the work I'm doing is technically challenging, I sometimes find it hard to derive personal satisfaction.

Thanks!
a newly minted, slightly confused graduate.
