One of the biggest things people don't understand about startups is how far they have spread beyond classic "tech."

Startups may actually spread faster in domains that haven't previously had them, because there is no acquired immunity to them.
There's more room to delight customers in a domain where the incumbents are lazy.

Although for some industries that haven't seen much startup activity it's precisely because they have strong, often regulatory, defenses.

Since incumbents can't win by making something better, the ultimate limit to the spread of startups may be regulatory capture. E.g. Airbnb.

One industry with lazy incumbents, that comes to mind, is banks. I've never had a good experience with them. Adequate at most
