Tech companies moving to the blockchain for startup capital feels like a paradigm shift

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a young tech company seek their early investors and startup capital through the blockchain, but I’m very interested in this trend. It democratizes like gofundme but with actual ownership as a reward instead of just tchotchkes and kudos.

How can this idea expand outside of defi and programming? I’d love to see resteraunteurs and independent mechanics and the like using blockchain to fund their business instead of banks. Someday, potential franchisees at Chick-Fil-A can issue an Ethereum token to raise capital to start their franchise, and then buy back the shares with profits at a profit to pay back their investors.
