What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR
Invested $5,000 this round
I'm honored to be the Lead Investor in this important project. There needs to be more awareness of the benefits of employee ownership and how it not only benefits the employees, but also society. I read a LOT of content about employee ownership, and I find Elle's to be the most well-researched and thought-provoking of anything out there. I look forward to seeing how this book can increase awareness of all of the benefits of employee ownership, as well as offer solutions to issues that are holding it back from being more widespread.
