Because if a company like that starts to emerge they'll be bought out by a larger company. At which point everyone around here will congratulate them on their "exit".

Find an industry monopolized, disrupt it just enough to catch the attention of the incumbent, and exit.

I often think I should start an infant formula company and sell to Abbott.
