So everyone past the first dozen people didn't help the company?

  I don't know where you get the idea that startups only give stock to 12 people. The main reason that Google went public is that they had given stock to close to 2000 people and the law requires certain things when the cap table gets that big. And many companies give out RSUs which act like shares even if they're not. The reality is that startups ARE worker owned. It's the old, unionized companies that aren't-- although many are embracing options and RSUs.
