Jenny Kassan (Senior Attorney, Jason Wiener PBC) — 'The book advocates for structuring a company in a way that legally protects it from the inevitable pressures of what Ries calls financial gravity'

Jenny Kassan — Senior Attorney at Jason Wiener PBC and a leading US impact-investing / stewardship-economy lawyer — publishes a full blog breakdown of Incorruptible's charter model (mission shares, Class M director veto, founder supervoting shares) and then goes a step further with her critical addition: charter provisions alone aren't enough; the real key is how you structure the investment terms from the start. Argues exit-driven investor payouts undermine even the strongest governance.

“The book advocates for structuring a company in a way that legally protects it from the inevitable pressures of what Ries calls "financial gravity" – the deeply engrained instinct to concede power to those who control financial capital. Ries says financial gravity results from our millions of years of evolutionary history when we "survived by tracking who controlled resources and adjusted [our] behavior accordingly."” — Jenny Kassan on JR Wiener PBC blog
