Alternative to Software Business Ownership: cofounders, investors and self-employment.
The cofounder of ABC Agency talks about the different paths to ownership. There are many ways to gain equity in a company. One way is to self-employ as well as find investors. The cofounder also explains the value of being able to talk with people about your company and its future because of openness in today's world.
