I've found out that;

Competitor Startup Capital -> Very High is causing an issue with spawn mechanics.
Competitor Count -> Also is affected somehow by the population?

Additional info is appreciated.

It is due to "Realistic Money Supply=Yes".

When I set it to No, AI companies are founded normally.

When you set Competitor Startup Capital to Very High and Realistic Money Supply to Yes, and there isn't enough money from the public investors, then no companies are able to raise funds successfully and get started.
