I wish you'd talk to the owners of a company I worked for. After 4 years in business, they continued to interview people for positions at a "startup", requiring candidates to agree to stay late or work on weekends to make the business succeed.
4 years in, no profit. After 5 years, they became "profitable before marketing costs", which was the largest business expense (in the millions).
Huh. I should dig and find out if they still call themselves a startup from 2009.
