In the modern economy, managerial capitalism is the prevailing way companies are run. While startups tend to resemble bourgeois capitalism at the beginning (founders with full ownership and control), they eventually transition to a managerial model to scale (managers with low ownership but full control).

We know this is true because the big established companies don’t continue innovating and building all the new things themselves.
