The "higher ups" by paying wages, the venture capitalists by supporting new businesses, and the investor groups by giving money to a company in exchange for shares.
I'd also like to point out that certainly in the case of venture capitalism, it is the people who own the business who ask for the money in the first place, knowing full well that a portion of their company will then be owned by the venture capitalist. They see it as useful, not selfish.

Communists, by definition, give away assets to support the system. So "giving their money away to contribute to the system" hm?
Either way, we are, in these systems, in some way living off of someone else's efforts, henceforth their hard-earned money.
