I made a diet recipe app with thousands of users and sold weight loss products (stevia not ozempic lol).
I had a chat with another company. I don't recall the exact details, but basically they'd buy $10 of FB ads to sell $30 of weight loss product. I needed $0.80 or so of marketing cost (bribing bloggers, domain name, etc). So they bought the whole company, all the physical goods, platform, bank accounts, etc.
That's the short of it. This was 10 years ago, you could probably build a lot faster now especially since many companies won't adopt AI and such. And it only took me a year to get there because it was a physical channel back in the era of e-commerce.
I think it also works because it's gunship diplomacy. You should be eating a little into their product like a locust and at a point where they fear you growing bigger without them.
