How, when foundries are a natural monopoly? How can you realistically create a startup to build a multibillion / multi year fab ?

There are 3 foundries capable: Samsung, Intel, and TSMC. Companies can contract out some to Samsung and Intel. TSMC can (and is) build more fabs.

Same way you can create a startup to build a multibillion dollar data center presumably.
