Fascinating to see how VC funds public benefit corporation that IPOs.

What's the practical distinction between "public benefit corporation" and a for-profit business then?

In the state of Delaware, where they are incorporated, there is virtually no practical distinction AFAIK.

In other states, I don't know.
