A successful business does everything it can to make money as soon as it can. It can take investments because bootstrapping doesn't make sense in many situation (growth would be too slow), but saying premature + asymmetric effort to capture value is just counterproductive is actually exactly the opposite of what works.
A business needs to make money as soon as it can. It's how it survives. Facebook and Twitter are exceptions.
