Not true at all. Indeed, it's the little companies that often can be "disruptive" (I hate that word; why is disruption necessarily good?). Indeed, large companies are in practice often invested in ways that prevent them from pursuing profitable business that smaller business can. Their business model can prevent them from pursuing profitable business because it would involve biting the hand that feeds them. Large companies become entrenched in a certain set of ties and a certain status quo. The last thing they want is to disrupt. It's very much a question of trade offs. Aside from that, your phrase "drives society forward". I always here this phrase thrown around in these discussions, but I have yet to receive a coherent explanation of what that means, or what this great lord of Progress consists of. I think one ought to remember what the aim is. Change is not the same as "better", chaos is also change (the article says we fear change at its core, which I think is stupid; we fear loss of something which change can entail; some are addicted to change for its own sake out of from psychological illness). There is the social dimension to consider, the psychological, the spiritual, the environmental, etc. The empty profit seeking and vacuous worship of tech or whatever is desolate.
