I don’t have a model specifically but companies like “Bob’s Red Mill” and “King Arthur” are employee owned and rather succesful. Though those are not tech companies I can’t imagine the base model being drastically different when adapted.

It's REI, and it's actually a consumer co-op owned by its members, not employee-owned.
