The Unfair Advantage Big Companies Have...

Intro

TL;DR — They already have a huge user base and a lot of money to burn.

Big teams allow them to aim for higher ROI. That's why Google has shut down many products—those products didn’t generate billions of dollars in return to make them worthwhile for the company.

They can (if they want) copy startups and render them unnecessary. Amazon is an example of this practice. They copy popular products, sell them at a lower price than the original until the smaller business runs out of money, and then raise the price. The good part is that they often buy startups. In fact, most startups begin with this as their ultimate goal: to be acquired by a larger company.

Bigger companies have reputations they have built over the years, which makes it easier for them to attract more clients.

If the costs of operating their business increase, they can simply move their offices to lower-cost locations like India (one of the companies I worked for did just that).

They often retain B2B contracts because it is very difficult for another company to catch up with all the business processes within a 2-3 month span. A big project at a company I worked for was lost to a competitor but eventually came back because the knowledge transfer was highly inefficient.
