a plucky upstart company actually releases general AI

Setting aside the very term AGI is ill defined to the point of meaningless, what prevents the bigger company from simply eating the plucky upstart?

You can only hostile take over a publicly traded company. You can't walk into a private business and kick the owners out unless you have a lot of manpower and the ability to fend off the police and lawyers and everybody else.
