Founded in 2018 by Michael Brown, Alex Eu, and Kevin Shiiba, Teamshares is a mission-driven financial technology, educational, and creative services company with a distributed workforce of 120 Teammates across 28 states and three countries. Teamshares buys businesses from retiring owners, granting 10% of the business’s stock to employees after closing, and progressively increasing employee ownership to 80% within 20 years. Retiring owners sell their company with confidence and their legacy becomes employee ownership. Teamshares recruits and trains talented, ambitious Presidents to lead companies forward, helping them grow through world-class educators and peer-based learning among fellow network Presidents. We bring the business and technology resources of big business to small businesses, starting with stock ownership. The result is a network of financially durable companies that never have to be sold again—to the benefit of retiring owners, employee owners, companies, and local economies alike.
