Amen, brother. I mentor at startup events and this is my number one beef.

A feature is not an app. An app is not a business. Startups are businesses, and it's only a business if customers give you money.

If you are pitching a startup, always include a plausible hypothesis about how you will make money. It could be wrong, but so could every other thing in your pitch.
