Teaser at the beginning of the article: > Worker-owned co-operatives are some of the most resilient businesses in the startup world, so why don’t investors back them? Well, I guess because angel and venture capital investors rather care about about growth and rate of return. :-) Resilience is very important if one does not plan to sell the shares - but this kind of investment is very different from the one that most angel and venture capital investors are interested in. The kind of business model where one is interested in long-term investments are more of the kind of life insurance companies and pension funds. But these groups are very conservative in their investments (i.e. they will avoid investing in unproven business models, and rather invest in very balanced, conservative stock portfolios and government bonds).
