For the past 10 years or so none of the "successful wrothwhile startups" have positive cash flows, and those that seemingly do still manage to post hundreds of millions of dollars in losses yera after year after year.
The whole modern startup business is either "work at a loss until a successful exit for the founders" or "work at a loss forever with no expectation of profitability for some reason".
None of them are worthy.
