All good things don't last forever. A organization or company lasting forever with the same goal/mission while using the same methods is a statistical anomaly.

What is the corrupting force?

The joy/energy and human element being reduced. Or sometimes it's profit greed. Or it could just be due to economic conditions at the time. There are lots of ways for organizations to fall. Pick your poison.

What is the corrupting force?

Usually money.

Often preceded by the waning of the passion and self sacrifice that enables things to happen without money.

It’s sad when it’s asymmetric - founders lose their idealism and sell out while early employees fail to notice the game has changed.

But dreams are rarely enough to keep things going. And VCs know just what to say to make it seem like the dream and the money can coexist.
