  For a lot of them that's just not the primary goal. Honestly, I expect the next big success stories to break from this pattern of the silicon valley sickness of trying to grow a company at all costs by conning VC firms until they've got enough users and then sell the company or get another round of funding to try and figure out the whole "revenue" thing later. I think some old school thinking of more organic growth of a good idea with immediate revenue will see a resurgence.
