How so? Only very large companies are able to pay for getting high enough bandwidth and speed and, more importantly, also negotiate the corresponding deals with the few networks (who already have effective monopolies in many areas). Smaller startups can hardly compete against them when their services are too slow.
I can see no reasonable story according to which giving up neutrality would be beneficial to smaller companies. The best thing a small startup can do is to bundle up with one of a few large corporations, and the result are more quasi-monopolies and cartels, of course.
