Replying to Are there no "small" bike brands?

Ive noticed in skiing there is space for the huge companies like volkl, k2, and solomon as well as little companies like J, on3p, or moment. Is there just not a space for these smal brands in the bike industry? it seems researching and creating a bike is a much harder thing to pull off then building a ski, not to mention that you also have to sell components with the bike. If there are any little brands doing cool things, I'd like to know so I can support them.
