There is no ultimate winner. You better figure out...
1. Is the mission you are on fitting more businesses or individuals
2. Does the math input/output work better for businesses or individuals
3. Do you have access to talent and opportunities in B2B or B2C world
Moving forward we'll see more and more businesses that mix those two approaches. My favorite is selling to consumers, who then help you sell to businesses or the B2C2B approach.

Yeah, love what Slack and Dropbox did. Perfect examples of what you mention with B2C2B (The chain reminds me of DNA ๐)
