A company is an ecosystem, and there should be something for all stakeholders within this ecosystem. This includes founders, but also employees, stockholders, customers and suppliers. Once the company is sustainable, entrepreneurs should decide whether they want to keep pushing for growth or start distributing the profits back into the ecosystem. It includes them but also the other stockholders.
