Where do you draw the line for "validating a business model"? Uber was founded 11 years ago. How long do you need to validate the business model of a taxi app?

Where do you draw the line for "validating a business model"? Uber was founded 11 years ago. How long do you need to validate the business model of a taxi app? AirBNB was founded nearly 12 years ago. How long until they're done validating the business model of letting people rent apartments over a website?

I feel like a business model is validated when it becomes profitable, which it's why many of us don't validate the Uber/Lyft business model yet.

  Okay, so it's partially computable. But non-viability can never be proven?
