With companies like scooter shares or Groupon, where expansion requires physical presence and manpower, there is actually a decent chance of success, assuming there is a 800lbs gorilla or two that is funded and clamoring for growth.

Quite a few smaller, regional Groupon clones were able to sell to either Groupon or living social for very hefty sums when the gold rush was still on.
