An interesting (probably leads nowhere) way of defining this question is in reverse, how would a company that is to be owned by employees going to get started?

An interesting (probably leads nowhere) way of defining this question is in reverse, how would a company that is to be owned by employees going to get started? It's an easier question to answer these days, when many companies are like Google or Facebook. They don't really have "capital assets." No stock to buy or factories to build. Just people that need to pay rent.
