This feels like a conversation meant to get a veiled point through, perhaps pushed by the same minds behind reevaluating anti-trust around large technology companies: http://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2017/09/17/open-markets...

It'd be interesting to get a split beyond just pure volume of startup businesses to dive a little deeper -- small businesses divided by industry, and also revenue/profit per small business might be interesting to look at.

Anecdotally, it doesn't feel like small businesses have slowed, though I live in the eye of the Silicon Valley storm. I'd love to dive deeper into the stats to try to reconcile what I'm anecdotally experiencing and the systematic truths that might be out there.
