What colony was founded by profit minded investors?

Virginia was founded for profit. The people who settled there hoped to find gold or silver, but when they arrived they could barely find enough to eat. Many settlers died from starvation, some were killed in fights with the Native Americans, and others were killed by the cold winters. The colony made no profit until John Rolfe discovered that tobacco could be grown in Virginia. Tobacco was the first cash crop grown in the English colonies.


How did Jamestown earn the money?

When the colony first got to America, they looked for gold and silver, which eventually led them to disaster. After the first winter, they realized that looking for gold and silver wasn't the best approach to settling there. John Smith, learned from the nearby Indians that tobacco could be grown in the soil here. After a while, tobacco became one of the biggest its in Europe so the tobacco selling in the colony grew. Tobacco saved the colony from disaster. So that is what the colony made its money off of! -GOOD QUESTION, I'm sure not a lot of people know this.
