raising money
The joint stock company that funded the Jamestown settlement was the Virginia Company of London. Established in 1606, it aimed to establish a permanent English settlement in North America and sought to profit from the resources and trade in the New World. The company raised capital by selling shares to investors, which helped finance the expedition that led to the founding of Jamestown in 1607. Despite significant challenges, including harsh conditions and conflicts with Indigenous peoples, Jamestown became the first permanent English settlement in America.
