In today’s world, ownership is ubiquitous—spanning startups, office buildings, patents, farmland, and machinery. Yet, a significant gap persists: the individuals who contribute to building these assets often lack ownership of them. This discrepancy highlights the importance of ownership in creating lasting wealth and opportunity.
Ownership is crucial because it offers the potential for exponential growth. Unlike wages or salaries, which grow linearly and are akin to a debt product with periodic payments, equity can compound over time, leading to substantial financial gains. As long as there is a disparity between those who own and those who do not, wealth inequality will continue to widen.
Moreover, ownership fosters alignment and collective progress. A company of owners shares a unified vision for long-term success, collaborates to solve challenges, and collectively benefits from their efforts. This collective success not only advances the company but also provides financial freedom for individuals to pursue their own ventures. By democratizing access to ownership, we also democratize the opportunity for innovation.
Our vision is to broaden the global ownership landscape, ensuring that everyone has the chance to own a stake in what they help create. To achieve this, we have developed infrastructure that makes issuing equity as straightforward and cost-effective as managing payroll. We are also lowering the barriers to investment through advanced software and are committed to providing the education and tools necessary for ownership.
By facilitating access to ownership and innovation, we aim to advance the world into a new era where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to a more equitable future.
