More "boring" service providers who are content with a modest profit margin and slow organic growth, please. I don't even care if the UI looks "dated" and new features take a long time to be built. Traditional boring bare metal, only add new customers when you have capacity to support it, whatever.
A company of 50+ year old tech veterans who have been laid off and left behind from age discrimination just looking to keep the bills paid until retirement.
Run it like a co-op, like a little credit union that isn't looking to expand quickly, just serve their little niche of the community.
Yes. This is the way; there's plenty of evidence and research that this kind of cooperative model works and can thrive even in a capitalist hellscape.

@StevenSaus Yeah. Even in a world of behemoths, there's always going to be niches of the market where customers are underserved by the mainstream and may even be willing to pay a price premium for a trusted partner who knows their customers well. Live within your means, only grow when you can afford to, don't take on unsustainable debt, and your niche will stay loyal.
