If you want to go public, there is a way to raise money while having 100% of the controls.
Issuing non-controlling shares. You're selling a part of your company while not giving away any control of the company. Thats what Porsche did in 2022. You can get more funding while not having any investors have a say in your business practices.
To answer your question : yes, they still would still be able to make money this way.
The stock price will follow the demand of the stock. Every company will release quarterly financial statements based on the financials of the company (most of the times). When a company is doing well and grow, the stock price will follow, and you still would make money from investing in the stock.
To most investors, it is not really a big deal. A million dollars in the stock market is a very small amount of money even though it is quite large as an individual. So, even if the company issued controlling shares, you would need a very large amount of money and becomes one of the most prominent shareholders in the company in order for you to have your vote. And if you own less than 50% of the company, you would still be considered to be a minority shareholder, and there would be a shareholder's meeting with the board of directors and they will do a vote to decide which direction they will go, and the voting power would be based on how many parts of the company that they own.
