Billion dollar companies are not hanging out with you to be your friend, even if you're at the table for a reason (you belong there because you know something they don't).
When speaking with big companies, you are not there to impress them.
Speak for impact + meaning, they are so big and brilliant and rich and should already know how.
There are examples where a large corporation simply sponsored the developer and development of an open source project. This should be the way.
