What's the point of telling the wolrd that you have tens of millions in revenue but ultimately the company is not profitable. TC Article here in case you missed it: http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/29/vevo-is-seeing-tens-of-million-in-revenue/

I run a company that has almost a million in revenue and we're profitable, not hundreds but 6 six figures and growing.

Is there a bubble here? or SV is going to self implode soon. ie. DemandMedia style.



I think this is partially the reason YC stays away from music company startups.


if I recall Youtube was never profitable during it's run as a startup.

Some models require massive adoption before the value goes up. If they succeed in being a go to music destination, the money will likely follow.


I think Youtube was different because they have almost zero revenue and crazy burn rate.
