Why don’t innovators start up new companies after their first one had beed acquired?

We see that A lot in the software/ internet/ tech industry, a genius starts up a small app or service then a huge company acquires it for alot of money, AND THEN ruins IT.

So why don’t the founders make a new app from the ground up? -They did it the first time, plus they have alot of money now..

Example from history : Tastekid got aquired by a weird company know one knows called Qloo..

They changed the name to Tastedive and it is incredibly lame now, previously it was very sophisticated..
