Interesting question! My view is that many small businesses operate far, far more efficiently than corporations. Most, if not all, corporations I've worked at and dealt with, have been enormously effective. Most small business I've interacted with, generally are quick, efficient, and interested in me as a customer.

That being said however, as a business owner myself, I'd say that the two biggest enemies I have that makes me less effective is the government, my bank, and my accountant.

The government steals my money and makes me jump through hoops for things that should be simple. The bank just generally does not want to do anything but being a branch of government, and my accountant is just an extra drag on my profits forced on me by... the government.

So if the Y-entrepreneurs could find ways of removing those three, that would certainly be something I would pay money for! =)

The government is also the reason I don't rob you, competitors don't cut/jam your phoneline at busy times, the reason you can buy from wholesalers and trust their product not to be poison or counterfeit, and you don't have to pay protection money to the mob.

You'd probably be making far less without the government's involvement.

Just playing devil's advocate.

This speaks more to your character more than everyone else's.

Amazon is the second largest company on planet earth. Everyone's apparently okay with that.

> you don't have to pay protection money to the mob.

Just a monthly fee for everything from heated seats to garage doors and forced obsolescence for everything that hasn't been turned into a subscription yet.
