Blitzscaling

Blitzscaling is an aggressive strategy where a company prioritizes extreme growth over profitability to dominate a winner takes all market.

Once network effects lock in and rivals are eliminated, the surviving monopoly can raise prices and extract profits, recouping its initial subsidies.
