You don’t want to sell your company as soon as it functions economically to absentee owners? You prefer to make change to make a lot of money? Learn from Zeiss, Alnatura, Bosch and start-ups like Sharetribe or Buffer.com how to structure your company in a way that it can stay mission driven and independent in the long term. With the help of „steward-ownership“ a revolutionary but time-tested concept of „self-owned“ companies, it is possible to start and finance start-ups that „owns itself“ i.e. is „owned by its purpose“. It changes the legal DNA of the company to make sure it is „self-determined“ and purpose-oriented in the long-term.   The keynote will furthermore explore alternative Investment structures for no-exit start-ups. Will a VC invest in me if I wont offer an exit? What types of alternative deal structures can I offer that allow me to not sell, to stay independent and at the same time access enough capital? Armin has raised double digit millions on non-exit terms and will share his knowledge.
