You make a very good point. But I would rather have a business model in place which means that if things overload, so does my bank account.

I wish more startups would start up with this premise in mind, as at the moment I'm looking for specific services for my company, and I have the added task of trying to determine if the cool startup I'm looking at has a business model in place so that I don't have to worry about looking for a replacement for them next year when they close down.

(And yes, I'm looking for stuff which my company can pay for, not freebies)
