North American settlements were often founded by joint-stock companies because these entities allowed for the pooling of resources and sharing of risks among investors. This financial model made it feasible to fund expensive and uncertain ventures like colonization, which involved significant costs and potential for failure. Additionally, joint-stock companies enabled more diverse participation in colonial enterprises, encouraging investment from a broader segment of society. This collaborative approach facilitated the establishment and growth of early settlements.
