Good shout. With venture capital funded startups you only have power at one point in their lifecycle: at the very start when they haven’t scaled yet and don’t yet have network effects. If you can kill their growth curve then, you can kill the startup. If, however, you “give them the benefit of the doubt” so they can use their initial cash injection to scale and achieve network effects, they’re set. They become another Facebook, X, etc. And they remain.
