There's perhaps a third way that looks more like Mozilla itself (setting aside the problematics with Google), or Ghost, or Signal. Funding a trust/nonprofit that owns the companies and itself has accountability to the greater good. That bakes in transparency and pays people fair market wages but isn't built in a way where investors or even founders are driven to 'get rich.' Where business goals are around sustainability rather than hypergrowth. The current VC model simply doesn't align with human-need driven software products, at least in the consumer sector.
