It also helps that Fish has a history in business. So even though he's chasing an autistic desire to have his own idol company (so he can eventually clone Marine), he's actually plotted his course for his ship instead of wandering around aimlessly in the sea like a lot of the other small corps. The fact that he was willing to keep the past few batches in the basement for so long is an example of his methodical approach instead of just firing them out of the cannon once they're chosen.Phase still exists and operational because of Fishman's autistic (and delusional) desire to have his own idol company and having a real experience running business. He has a goal he truly desires, and he is putting honest effort into achieving it, even going as far as admitting that he sucks at it and hiring competent people to fix his shortcomings. More or less every other small corpo that started out or is formed right now only has one goal - make money. You can't build identity on it, you are only going to acquire random people because you honestly don't care who you hire, and it will rot and die because you couldn't be assed to continue splurging money on it.
