What happens when mission-driven founders want to exit their businesses without selling to private equity? A growing number are turning to perpetual purpose trusts — and the movement just hit a milestone. The Purpose Trust Ownership Network (PTON) launched at a conference in Austin last week, aiming to accelerate adoption of purpose trusts in the U.S. This matters for the #impinv community because alternative ownership models are a direct answer to one of the field's persistent challenges: how do you lock in mission permanently, not just during one founder's tenure?
