I often have interviewees ask this question with a tone that sounds like they think they're daring and smart for asking it... but it's really a minor question in a lot of ways. Most startups are unprofitablw: it's more important to understand how and why and what the path to profitability is. And, frankly, the most meaningful answers there are going to happen in the sell phase, not from random engineers interviewing you. If I'm perfectly honest, when asked that question it tends to make me think the interviewee just isn't well versed with startups.
