Those two lines are moving up and to the right, but are not parallel.

It all depends on where those two lines meet (the break-even point): too far in the future and the company will be dead anyway. Almost all companies will eventually be profitable; the problem is that the majority of them will need constant cash injections to keep the lights on.

Like the old aviation saying: even a brick will fly if it has enough thrust. doesn't make the brick a plane, though.
