In this video, we explore the concept of "kill zones" and how they apply to the world of big tech. We delve into the birth and growth journey of startups, and how the market power of tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Facebook can crush or devour any potential competitor. We examine the decline in venture capital investment in startups that operate in the same areas as the tech giants, and how their market power creates an investment rot within the kill zone. We also discuss the tactics that these tech giants use to crush competition, such as exclusionary practices and killer acquisitions. Join us as we explore the Big Tech's Kill Zone and the calls for competition and antitrust laws to tackle their market power.
