您真的认为金钱不应该成为初创企业的动力吗？
我一直从很多创业者那里听到这样的座右铭：做你热爱的事情，不要为了钱而做任何事情！
我同意金钱作为一种交换手段，但尽管如此，我认为这是一个重要因素。
IT 企业家，您有什么建议/想法：关注市场/金钱还是只关注您所热衷的事物？
I always have heard this motto from many entrepeneurs: do what you are passionate about, do not do anything just for money!
I agree on the money as a mean of interchange, but nevertheless I consider that as an important factor.
What do you advise/think, IT entrepeneurs: focus on market/money or just what you are passionate about?

一般来说，初创公司会占用你所有的醒着时间，压力很大，需要相当高质量和创造性的工作，并且不提供有保证的回报。 对于这样的事情，大多数人需要他们能获得的所有动力，而大量的钱（不保证）是不够的。 如果你对自己所做的事情没有热情，你很可能会失败，而且几乎肯定会很痛苦。
话虽这么说，如果你所热衷的东西不是人们愿意花钱购买的东西，那就把它当作一种爱好吧。
Startups, in general, take up all your waking time, are high-stress, require reasonably high-quality and creative work, and offer no guaranteed return. For something like that, most people need all the motivation they can get, and large quantities of money (not guaranteed) aren't enough. If you're not passionate about what you're doing, you're likely to fail, and almost certain to be miserable.
That being said, if what you're passionate about isn't something people will pay for, leave it as a hobby.
不要仅仅为了钱而做你不想做的事情。 如果你想做点什么，那就拿钱吧。
如果涉及很大袋钱，最好在侧面印上大美元符号，那就推翻其他一切。
Don't do something you don't want to do just for money. If it's something you want to do, take the money.
If very large bags of money are involved, preferably with a large dollar sign printed on the sides, that overrules everything else.
你认为这是一个非黑即白的问题，而实际上它是一个灰色问题。 我认为，对于一个企业来说，你应该做你热爱的事情，但也要对盈利能力有合理的预期。
金钱不是主要目标，但有必要保留您的选择。
You're looking at this as a black/white issue, when it's really a grey issue. I would argue that for a business, you should do something you're passionate about, but also has a reasonable expectation of profitability.
Money is not the main objective, but it is necessary to keep your options available.
总有一个折中办法。 我认为做你热爱的事情很重要……但仍然能够养家糊口。 如果你的热情意味着生活在老鼠夹中并让你的孩子挨饿，那么你可能会忍耐并找到一些你不那么热情的事情。 或者，也许白天做你热爱的事情，但晚上送披萨作为补偿。 然而，我认为，如果做你喜欢的事情意味着买一辆殴打车并在家度假，而不是去有泳池酒吧的地方，那也没关系。
There's always a happy medium. I think it's important to do what you are passionate about... but still be able to put food on the table. If your passion means living with rat traps and letting your children starve, then you may have suck it up and find something you are less passionate about. Or, maybe do what you are passionate about during the day but deliver pizzas at night to compensate. However, I think it is fine if doing what you love means buying a beater car and taking stay-cations instead of going to places with swim up bars.
每个人都有自己的收支平衡点。 让我们面对现实吧，如果有人愿意出 10 亿美元让你做一些卑鄙的事，你很可能会这么做。
所以，归根结底，一切都取决于你看重什么。
说到我：
我个人认为金钱很重要，它提供安全感和心灵感。 如果我确定自己的工作有保障，我也发现晚上很难睡得好。 也就是说，如果我讨厌自己正在做的事情，我就无法让自己早上起床。 你也不必在余生中做某事。 如果它能推动你实现更大的目标，那么在一两年内从事一份不太理想的工作可能是达到目的的一种手段。
所以，说“不要为了钱做任何事情”有点短视。 以我的拙见。
Everyone has their break even point. Lets face it, if someone is offering you 1 billion dollars to do something despicable you very well might do it.
So, in the end it is all about what you value.
When it comes to ME:
I personally believe that money is important, it provides security and sense of mind. I also find it very hard to sleep well at night if I am sure that my job is secure. This said, I couldn't bring myself to get up in the morning if I loathed what I was doing. You also don't have to do something for the rest of your life. It it propells you towards a larger goal taking a less then desireable job for a year or two might be a means to an end.
So, saying "don't do anything for money" is a little myopic. In my oh so humble opinion.
找到两者的碰撞点……金钱和你的技术热情……但不要忘记管理这一切不属于这两个领域。
Find that point where the two collide... money and your technical passion... but don't forget that managing it all is outside both realms.
除非你有很多国会支持你的想法，否则我认为金钱必须成为更多的动力。 但你需要在资金和市场之间找到良好的结合。 你可以想出一个好主意，但市场不会支持它，或者想出一个蓬勃发展的市场，但没有为市场打造的好主意。 在我构建的任何应用程序中，我都会查看实用程序/网站等的受众，看看是否已经有一个实用程序在做类似的事情，我会看到它的工作情况、销售情况等，这通常会告诉我市场是否饱和用工具或者我的想法是否也可以出售。 不要只做你热爱的事情，你需要一个良好的组合。 在创建可靠的应用程序来赚钱的同时，您始终可以将充满激情的想法作为副业。
Unless you have a lot of capitol to back your ideas I think the money has to be more the motivator. But you need to find a good mix between money and market. You can come up with this great idea but the market won't support it OR come up with a booming market but no great idea to build for the market. In any application I build I look at the audience of the utility/website, etc and see if there is already a utility doing something similar and I see how well it works, sells, etc and that will usually tell me if the market is saturated with tools or if my idea could sell as well. Don't do just what your passionate for you need a good mix. You can always do the passionate ideas as the side job while your creating solid apps that will make you the money.
在 .com 泡沫时期，很多人追随自己的热情，却没有可行的盈利模式。 结果，互联网上充斥着筹集了两千万美元、建立了一些很酷的东西，然后由于缺乏收入而消失的网站。
如果人们把钱投入到一项新业务中，那么必然是为了把钱拿出来。 如果你没有盈利，他们最终会停止资助你的爱好。
A whole lot of people followed their passion without a viable profit-making model during the .com bubble. As a result, the Internet is littered with sites that raised twenty million dollars, built something cool, and then vanished due to lack of revenue.
If people are putting money into a new business, it's invariably to get money out. If you don't make a profit, they eventually stop funding your hobby.
