A new venture caught my eye this weekend, in a story of four tech-entrepreneur siblings who are in the process of raising money from investors. But this is no ordinary fundraising round. Rather than selling shares in a conventional company, the Libermans are selling shares in themselves.If this idea strikes you as uncomfortably reminiscent of times when it was commonplace for people to be traded as assets, I’m right there with you. But sinister as it may sound, it is worth remembering that the Libermans are doing this of their own volition. Furthermore, they believe that what they call a “People Company” — which they hope to float on the stock exchange — will not only benefit them financially: it could also “stem 21st-century inequality”.
最近有一個(gè)新的創(chuàng)業(yè)項(xiàng)目引起了我的注意，這是一個(gè)關(guān)于四個(gè)身為科技創(chuàng)業(yè)者的兄弟姐妹的故事，他們正在向投資者籌集資金。但這不是普通的融資輪。利伯曼(Liberman)一家的兄弟姐妹不是在出售一家傳統(tǒng)公司的股份，而是以他們自己為標(biāo)的來(lái)發(fā)股。
