Ideally, investors take away from your conversations that you and your company are a really good investment and that steward-ownership and aligned financing is a given and nothing to be concerned about.
Investors can at times see benefits in the different risk profile of steward-owned companies, in the more clear path to liquidity and in the reduced team risk.
More purpose- and impact-driven investors can also find the purpose-orientation, the reduced mission drift as well as the challenging of conventional growth and shareholder primacy norms attractive and see it as an opportunity to invest more intentionally and aligned with their values.
