Personal opinion: it's also harder to grow or get investment on a startup which competes or might compete with a big corporation in future, just because bigCorp might go into that area as well, or add a "feature" which represents your entire business.

How do you tackle this?

There are several advantages to being a small company. The biggest is you can offer 1-on-1 individualized support. Another big advantage is small companies have less mass and can adapt to customer/market needs quicker.

Jason Cohen has a lot of good advice on the competitive advantage of small companies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rMPbAN6i7s
