I’ve just been thinking recently that one key intervention point is the point where an idea, or a small entrepreneurial business, takes on the commitment to grow, rather than remaining confined by the limits of the founder’s head. If we can catch people at this stage — the earlier the better, so that the entrepreneur has less “invested” — then maybe a business “commons transition” can happen.

How about something like “commons seed business”, or if the seed is conceived in the head of the entrepreneur, even “commons shoot” or “commons bud”?

What would the equivalent of a “startup” be in this system? Also, what would it be called? I agree with Aral Balkan that startups are “Silicon Valley brands” that have pre-sold their potential users’ data to capitalists, and because I don’t want to be involved in that, I don’t want to call anything I’m involved in a “startup”.
