You guessed it. I know some totally employee-owned tech cos, and they can work, but the one thing they can't do is raise money like founder-centric startups.

I would think as long as the company is happy then investors wouldn’t matter. Then your goal would be for example, to pull in a wealthy person who could invest in the company and work (law? Accounting? Cto?). Then sell their shares when they help it grow in value and would like to exit. That at least would allow investment growth without selling the farm.
