I should add if Jet is now Walmart they aren't the small guys any more. Anyone have any alternatives?

Do you have any reason beyond principle to only use "small guys"?

I don't know if Jet was a "small guy" before the acquisition either if they had a 1B valuation. Plus pricing at a loss to get market share and compete with Amazon or get acquired by Walmart isn't really a small guy business plan. My idea of small guys I'd want to help is a local mom and pop stores. Maybe that guy likes the idea of helping start-ups though? It's his money
