Sure. You just need to stop going public after diluting ownership down so far you have no control over your own company via endless rounds of VC to pay for not having a business model (causing you to bleed red ink and ultimately be overly dependent on outside money), and stop giving all the power to institutional investors accordingly.<p>Then you can get away from the pressure of quarterly results. Otherwise, no, there&#x27;s no scenario under which you can get away from that influence while owning 3%-5% of your own company and being public.<p>Twitter made a mistake by not having its ownership structure set up like Facebook and Google.
