I agree. For many BigCos this is not an active intent of malice. Often the 2 people do hope their vision will change the company. However, the company is often filled with these groups of "2 people" all trying to move the needle also, leading to a single vision not being effective.

My advice is have an honest and frank conversation with BigCo. Let them know it is in no one's interests for your start up to go out of business, and when they are doing at things at scale you (startup owner) can discuss passing on those economies of scale in terms of dedicated work, discounts, etc.
