No, this is a winner-takes-all situation. Basically, Bezos has convinced a bunch of VCs to make a pile of money so big, that they could be the winner in this market. Your Beyonce analogy makes little sense here.

What do VCs have to do with this? Amazon has been a public company for quite a while (since 1997, in fact).

Do you think Amazon "won" this market just by having more cash in the beginning?
