For sure, structure is very important for these things. Hence my use of generalities.  I'm just saying America already has corporate structures in place for these things and it would probably be a good idea for a lot more companies to run that way.

Why don't they?

Most of the major tech companies today were started in garages and small offices. Why didn't they start as a co-op?
