There's nothing wrong with tapping in on a cheaper labor, and that has nothing to do with "business model being broken". Ambitious ideas need a lot of money, you take investment, depending on your finances, you contract some work abroad. A lot of startups made it work, eventually they brought people on H1B, but don't mix up their initial stage with later stage. Business model doesn't have to work initially. Facebook didn't have one for a long time.
