Hetzner is a privately owned company, so it's not possible to invest in it. The owner and founder Martin Hetzner is one of the CEOs and is heavily involved in the company.
Like with anything, there's some pros and cons to being privately owned. It means our fans can't help us grow by investing in us. And it means we tend to open new locations very carefully, and perhaps more slowly than our competitors.
But it also means that we are not beholden to any investors. So if the CEOs decide to re-invest lots of the profits back into the company, they don't have to worry about a board complaining about lower returns. --Katie
