I don't think it makes sense to even think about starting a company if you don't have some sort of idea of how you're going to make money. This whole idea of build it first and figure out the money stuff later may work for a few companies, but it's more or less a recipe for disaster. Investor capital is temporary, although many treat it as an endless source of income.

It was a great concept 5-10 years ago when ads made a decent amount of money and people didn't spend 80% of their time on Facebook/Google/whatever. In the present day, we have large dominant sites, so you need a better way to make money than "I'll get the eyeballs and point them to ads eventually". The eyeballs aren't coming in sufficient quantity to make ads profitable anymore. Either sell them something, affiliate or go mobile.
