If the potential of a startup is proportionate to the size times the incompetence of its competitors, the most promising startup of all would be one that competed with national governments. It's not impossible; this is what cryptocurrencies do.

National governments are trying to solve ever-shifting life or death problems for customers who expect free things. Startups are largely trying to help me pay my way out of the existential burden of cooking my next meal.
That's true of the startups you're aware of, because you only know about the startups that advertise to you.

Ok. That implies that there's all these secret start-ups purporting to replace a wide array of critical functions impacting millions of people, and we somehow are ignorant of their existence. Happy to be proven wrong but color me skeptical.

The fact that you don't know about them doesn't mean they're secret. In fact some are highly visible. SpaceX for example, which has taken over much of what was once a government function.
