Or just funding rounds.

  Yes, but the stock market would be better as it would allow the public to invest. Funding rounds are just a way to let the rich and privileged get even richer.

    No, you're wrong. They're still taking risks. You see, when you have 1000 million and you invest 500 million in chunks of 1 million into 500 different companies, practically guaranteeing a return of >500 million [1], then you're taking a huge risk! Almost like the Average Joe/Jane investing on the stock market :-) [1] Since it's supremely unlikely all 500 companies fail, and it's much more likely that at least 1 of them comes up with a decent return on investment.
