There are other ways of securing early capital that don't require you to give a percent of your company to investors. I don't think anything needs to be black and white, but the situation where the only people profiting off the success of a company is outside share holders creates a very anti worker incentive.

What are those ways? I'm really interested, 'cause as I know startups usually search for investors.
