If the company is employee owned, how do you propose that an investor even could back it? Investment results in an ownership stake.

[righthand]

You give them shares like every employee has. Employee-owned just means that you need most of the company to agree with it. As long as there is a fair playground where your on boarding investor doesn’t end up eating all the shares then it could work. Ideally your investor would come on as an employee validating their stake instead of an outside pressure.
