Big companies acquire for the product not the innovation. Smart big companies will even leave the entity alone as not to hamper innovation. Most of the time they absolutely kill innovation as seen with Google and a couple innovate/grow by acquisition FinTech MegaCorps I worked at.

I’ve seen a few teams or line of businesses rally “Let’s get back our unique culture” after the merge. Not gonna happen if MegaCorp bought you. Everyone else already cashed out or left.
