There are thousands of startups at any given time do the tech giants can’t copy them all. The obvious ones to copy are those that seem to be getting pretty big. However, there’s a problem. If the startup is getting big, that means they’re harder to copy – lots of people know of them and like them. This doesn’t stop the tech giants from trying but it’s hit or miss to prevail
