Google did something along those lines. I'm sure there rules up the wazoo about selling securities. -------------------------------------------- Google's initial public offering (IPO) took place five years later on August 19, 2004. The company offered 19,605,052 shares at a price of $85 per share.[45][46] Shares were sold in a unique online auction format using a system built by Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse, underwriters for the deal.[47][48] The sale of $1.67 billion gave Google a market capitalization of more than $23 billion.[49] The vast majority of the 271 million shares remained under the control of Google, and many Google employees became instant paper millionaires. Yahoo!, a competitor of Google, also benefited because it owned 8.4 million shares of Google before the IPO took place.[50] en.wikipedia.org
