Yeah, tough luck. Pretty much none of the companies that showed up first in the tech industry are still amongst the top 5-10 players today.

On the contrary, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, WhatsApp, Skype, Netflix and pretty much every single tech giant that enjoys a quasi monopoly over their market today, they all arrived pretty late. Not second to market, mind you. Waay late.
