He argues that for-profit companies, driven by equity incentives and market pressures, create more jobs and are less susceptible to mission drift than non-profits. Ackman is now experimenting with a hybrid model, using philanthropic capital to seed ventures that operate on for-profit principles, aiming to bridge the gap in funding for early-stage scientific research.
