The easiest way to become a F500 company is to start as an F5 company, then financialize your whole business, stop innovating, fire anyone effective, and give the executives huge bonuses.

Well, if you also put barriers to integration and hire more executives you can turn it into 3 or 4 F5000 companies instead.
