I'm surprised no one has mentioned the real difference here. In most startups employees are granted equity. They are closer to worker collectives than they are corporations. In corporations only the capitalist gets any return, they are extracting value from their employees. The point being, the solution to this sort of systemic problem is for more corporations to become worker owned. If the guy writing the SSD algorithms has a say in governance and a cut in the profits they will want to stick around. It's the stable version of startups.
