📊 EBITDA Positive ≠ Profitable: The Startup Illusion/delusion EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) is just a fancy term used to prevent yourself to be called loss making and shows reduced losses 1. Depreciation Reality: Those servers and fancy office chairs? They're losing value 2. Interest Burden: Venture debt isn't free money. Those interest payments are real headaches as entrepreneur 3. Tax Troubles: I don't I need to explain it 4. Capital Expenditure (CapEx) : EBITDA ignores the cash you're burning on long-term investments. Basically the above mentioned points aren't calculated while measuring EBITDA so Many startups are EBITDA positive but not profitable Remember: Cash is king, profit is queen, and EBITDA +ve is a guy who prevents you to be called loss making company

EBITDA is the fancy makeup some startups wear to look good on paper. But, when the glamour fades, you still have to face the ugly truth of interest payments, taxes, and depreciation.
