Secure Cloud Provider Announces Employee Ownership Model, Reinforcing Commitment to People Over Profit

New York City — Secure Cloud Provider Inc., a leader in secure-by-design infrastructure solutions, shares a groundbreaking approach to company ownership. By enshrining employee and board member equity into its corporate bylaws, the company ensures that those who dedicate their time, expertise, and energy to its success share directly in its growth and long-term value.

Unlike most startups that rely heavily on outside investors, Secure Cloud Provider has built its business without external funding. This deliberate decision preserves full ownership of company shares and allows Secure Cloud Provider to prioritize its people and mission without compromise. Under the company’s ownership model, 51% of the shares are allocated to employees and board members, with the distribution based on the time invested, in six-month increments.

A Different Kind of Company

The model was born out of hard-learned lessons from the startup ecosystem. Over the past 15 years, Secure Cloud Provider’s leadership has observed a recurring pattern: startups that scale quickly are often sold off, leaving investors and a small circle of executives enriched while employees, the very people who built the business, are left behind. Jobs disappear, careers are disrupted, and promises of long-term opportunity evaporate.

Secure Cloud Provider is determined to rewrite that narrative. By tying ownership directly to contribution, the company ensures that its success is genuinely shared among its employees. If the company is sold one day, the people who helped build it with their “blood, sweat, and tears” will also reap the rewards.

“At Secure Cloud Provider, our philosophy is simple: people matter more than money,” said a spokesperson of the company. “By making employees co-owners, we’re not just offering them jobs; we’re giving them a stake in the future they are helping to create. This model ensures that our team’s commitment, intelligence, and hard work are recognized in the most meaningful way possible: ownership.”

A Leader By Example

The company’s CEO has underscored this commitment by limiting personal ownership to just 10% of company stock. The remaining 39% of unallocated shares remain available for future employees and leadership to earn through their contributions. This structure ensures long-term inclusivity, allowing the model to scale as the company grows.

This stands in stark contrast to the traditional startup path, where founders and investors typically hold the lion’s share of equity while employees rely on options that often never materialize into real financial benefit. Secure Cloud Provider’s approach directly challenges that system by building fairness, transparency, and accountability into its corporate DNA.

Why It Matters in Today’s Market

The move comes at a time when workers across industries are demanding more equitable treatment and stronger alignment between their contributions and the success of the companies they help build. According to a 2024 report by the National Center for Employee Ownership, businesses with employee ownership structures demonstrate greater stability during economic downturns and foster higher employee engagement and retention.

For Secure Cloud Provider, the ownership is not just a social good but a strategic advantage. Engaged employees who are financially and emotionally invested in the company’s success are more likely to innovate, collaborate, and stay for the long term, qualities that are essential in the highly competitive cloud infrastructure market.

A Human-Centered Future

Secure Cloud Provider continues to distinguish itself not only through its secure-by-design infrastructure platform but also through its values-driven approach to business. By prioritizing people over outside investors, the company has created a culture of trust and shared responsibility.

The company believes that its model can serve as an example for other technology firms seeking to balance growth with fairness. While Secure Cloud Provider has no plans to sell, the ownership framework ensures that if such a day were ever to come, every employee would be recognized as a true stakeholder in its journey and its success.

“At the end of the day, technology is about people, particularly those who built it and those who use it,” said Higham. “Our employee ownership model reflects that truth, and we’re excited to show that a people-first model can drive both innovation and success.”
