If it's about ideas they are always floating around and anyone can snatch it anytime. it's all about execution. if it's more of a patented thing or well established idea by a startup they try to buy or acquire it. keeping all this things aside. people are also not ready for a change. they just install a app where his friend lies and that's it. they never explore. they don't have time. they only acquire successful ones, there are many great ideas which failed and nobody cared. acquiring is more kind of a taking things all out by experienced players.

big players😏

Silicon Valley is increasingly focused on acquisitions and consolidations rather than promoting innovation. Today’s 'winners' are often the result of profitable buyouts, where larger companies eliminate potential competitors before they can even emerge. What’s happening here isn’t a tech utopia, but a well-planned chessboard of power and control. The 1% are no longer just a distant idea; their influence is real, built through mechanisms that concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few. This creates an ecosystem where the already powerful continue to rise, while new players are kept out. The outcome is a monopoly-driven market where innovation is overshadowed by consolidation. These practices stifle competition, create high entry barriers, and ensure that the same players remain in power. In reality, Silicon Valley’s story isn’t about creation—it’s about control.

Good Info bro. But why do you think it's a secret.

*#we need the reason*# how they reach that stage to buy innovative companies

Saw one video in which the guy said that Huge Companies like Amazon often use their network of VCs to fund the potential competitor companies with tens and hundreds of millions. because of this, the VCs get seat in the board and that's how they can deny the company to take certain decision. Then it ends up getting aquired by Amazon, etc.

Bro getting acquired as a startup is not hurting anyone lol. It makes perfect sense strategically. I mean do you rub sticks at home to cook food or use a lighter?

How is it hurting innovation if the consumers win in the end of the day due to. better products?

Startups used to aim for IPOs, now it’s acquisitions.

Big tech's playbook: Don’t build, just buy.

Startups dream of exits, not changing the world.

Are we trading true innovation for quick profits?
