To start an AI company you generally don't need much. A few thousands in GPUs and you are good to go. If AI researchers feel they are underpaid there is literally nothing stopping them from starting a company themselves.

that is absolutely not true. I'm not sure where you are getting your information, but read anything from an angel investor. most AI start ups fail because they go into huge debt getting correct data and training models, which end up bankrupting them in the process with nothing to show for it

If you need to collect date then you are not only an AI company. And in that case a large company is indeed needed.
