Since they can't build companies, what they should do is build clones to grab market share and sell them quickly to entities that actually do know how to scale.

Since they can't build companies, what they should do is build clones to grab market share and sell them quickly to entities that actually do know how to scale. Germany is actually quite different than everywhere else, but ultimately subject to the same trends. So ... like 'German Ebay' - copy the other types of up-and-coming trends, and then sell them off to the actual global player. That would actually make sense and be a value add: get the German market 'going' with 'something' and then let it scale with others who know how to do it. It's kind of a win-win-win. But otherwise, it seems they're taking the very shortsighted view with everything without any material real product/customer/market authenticity ... meaning no long run way to make money.
