Totally agree with you! But some startups did manage to create their own space. Look at Airbnb – they took the idea of renting out your spare room and made it a billion-dollar market. Same with Tesla; they didn’t just make electric cars but built a whole market for premium EVs when hardly anyone was interested. And in India, Paytm brought digital payments to millions who hadn’t even used banks before.
