I see the same problem, but I don't agree that stock price is the reason why people don't go big anymore. Sure, many join a startup hoping it'll be the next Google or Facebook, but honestly, IMHO, startups are just more enjoyable to work at. Large companies lack the same level of speed, action and innovation. All the exciting innovation is happening at startups. Startups are trying to change the game, while large companies are simply trying to defend their lead. That's just boring for young guys like me. Generation Y doesn't want boring 9-5. We want to work on projects we care about. I see the brain drain happening at these big companies and wonder who will be left to run them? What will happen to Google when they become too big and boring?
