The dot-com bust taught people that you still have to have a business in order to get funding. The internet is changing everything, faster than some like, slower than some would like to believe. Great article and comments. “Without revenue there is no profit”

It was just a point I felt had to be made. Take away the exception and even Amazon now has to make money after years of red ink. My father liked to say "Cash Is King" and having been a small business owner, he definitely knew. I learned that lesson the hard way, myself, and can say that any entrepreneur who won't dive in a toilet to chase a nickel is probably short for the world... ~Scott I agree with you Brandon.

However, I still believe profit makes the world go round. Being worth something and sustainable growth are two separate things. Most companies can run for a period of time without profit thanks to investors and loans. Working capital comes from investors that believe there is a potential for profit, otherwise they wouldn't invest. Youtube will do fine for a while because google believes the short-term losses will lead to gains in the long run. Fortunately, because google makes enough profit through their search engine and other programs, they can support this risky adventure; i.e. infusing youtube with working capital. If 10 years down the road youtube is still unprofitable, you will see fewer upgrades, and maybe even a sale; it wont be growing anymore. ARRiiVE – Thanks for the comment.

However, without revenue, there can be NO profit. So, actually, it starts there. And, in fact, if you notice some of the largest deals in Internet history, several of them still are not profitable operations (YouTube, FaceBook, etc.), yet were worth $1.6B and Millions to their purchaser.
