I'd disagree strongly on that account. The business owners take the monetary risk, but that is a small portion compared to the overall risk of the workers. If somebody moves across the country, that is a risk. If somebody invests time in learning a skillset, that is a risk. If somebody is going to need to choose between rent and groceries if they are laid off, that is a far bigger risk than the monetary investment of a venture capitalist.
