There is no limit to the number of companies that can be started. There is a Darwinian process at work that culls the old and dying, and new and ineffective companies from the herd.

That's the way the business works. There are precious few companies that have been able to stay on top for more than 10-20 years. Natural selection is a very powerful force in the startup economy.
