Indeed this is one in a million.

My story is the total opposite... Where giants squash and step on the little guy innovator.

Sounds great.... The dream we all long for; Silicon Valley dream.

Though does anyone tell the stories where the little guy is invited out there by big influentials only to be baited into giving away their secret algorithm and then being stomped on?

Beware innovators/entrepreneurs sharks abound, especially for the little guy. They'll sell you on your dreams only to get what they want from you then kick you and your dreams to the curb.
