Shareholders and “funders” are essentially the same thing.

Early investors or founding investors usually get more shares of the company since there is more risk involved, but either way stock in the company is the transaction.

Got it ty for clarifying so in this case the foreign entities or funders would still be shareholders unless they sold out?

Yeah,

If they invested early and own a good percentage then the return on their investment will be positive which is why they do it. Betting company is a no brainer.

Foreign investment in the best economy to park your money is not strange either.

Although OP has a point, we expose ourself to tricky situations, for example if a company like Twitter is backed by foreign actors there should be some securities in place but free market/mah profits is important. For reasons.
