Comment on Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?

Traditionally, there have been a few classes of companies in the U.S: C Corp, S Corp, LLC (Limited Liability Company) aka partnerships, and Closed. Most companies in the U.S. are organized as one of these, with their responsibility toward shareholders, who want to see their money grow.
If you wanted to work for a company that didn’t necessarily have infinite growth as its mission, the only option was to find a Non-Profit, but they may not have the kind of funding to spend on legal visas.
In the last few years, two other types of companies have emerged. They’re similar, but legally different: B-corp (…m.wikipedia.org/…/B_Corporation_(certification)), and PBC or Public Benefit Corporation (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefit_corporation).
These can be for-profit, but have to have a stated mission in their charter to provide a benefit of some sort to the public.
The links above point at some examples, but you may want to do your own research. Those companies may have the resources to pick up your visa, and may better align with the values you’re looking for.
Ideally, and when able, your best bet would be to start your own business and set it up just the way you want.

Thanks for the information, I will look more into B corp and PBCs.
