I think founders of today are much more focus on building a product that last longer and provide value to the users. What happens in my view, is the type of investors founders bring on board.
Investors most of the time are money driven, when they invest $1, they are always looking at making 10X+ out of it. Which is okay, but usually they want this so fast that, the entire focus of the business changes to be all about profitability.
We can see typical cases with Steve Jobs, where he had to leave apple. Most founders ends up being kicked out of their companies. The stronger founders are able to leave to start new companies. I think boostrapping is now the way to go.
