You ever watch SharkTank? It’s kind of the same thing except anyone with money can participate, and even sell their pieces of the business to other people also wanting to participate.

Now, not all stocks actually give you a share of the profits (dividends), so all you get is the share of ownership in hopes it goes up in value.
