It is not a law of nature that companies need have investors.
- danieltillett 11y agoEven workers cooperatives have investors (the workers themselves). Unless you have a business with no capital requirements then you must have investors.
- im3w1l 11y agoBootstrapping (or simply being rich) is a thing.
- danieltillett 11y agoWhen bootstrapping or being rich then you are the investor :)
- im3w1l 11y agoSure but we are talking about this in the context of being autonomous. So while you could say that you yourself are the investor, it ultimately doesn't matter for the overall argument.
- danieltillett 11y agoI was just responding to the claim that it is not a law of nature that companies have investors - in fact it is :)
- troels 11y agoBut there are lots of businesses that are cash positive from day one. They don't need outside capital.
- sridca 11y agoIf not investors, then who? My point would still remain, and it getting down-voted to oblivion is not going to change the factuality of it (else, someone would have contradicted it by now).
