Any company with a solid product would be able to expand into other product sectors based on the profit margins from that main product. The only thing investment does is abrogate control to “investors” who care only about profit. Once investors get their claws into an altruistic company, that altruism must take second shrift (if any presence at all) to short-term quarterly profits at any cost, including long-term viability. I mean, vampire/vulture capitalism has become absolutely endemic for a reason.
