We hear about "Big Tech" all the time in political and business coverage, but what does that term actually mean? This becomes a pertinent question considering the influence the name itself has on a startup's IPO price and success projections. WeWork notoriously billed itself as such when its business model resembled that of a real estate firm more than anything else.

Dante helps investigate the origin and meaning of the term in the 21st century, it's shifting nature over that time, and his entry into the space.
