The approach to distributed enterprise development is uniquely different from centralized enterprise development.
The key players are funders and operators. In today's world, funders hold resources for rapid startup, and can be relevant to this process, as long as the process remains distributive. Such as if the enterprise being created is a Distributive Enterprise.
In a centralized enterprise, certain stakeholders, possibly including funders - develop a product and typically actively or passively promote a non-collaborative, non-open-source process. The reward structure goes all to the centralized enterprise. Being non-collaborative, such a development typically does not improve equitable distribution of wealth as measured by the Gini Coefficient. The incentives for the centralized enterprise are market monopolization, a standard principle of scarcity economics. There is no risk share here - as no other parties are involved. The reward goes all to the stakeholders.
On the other hand, the Distributed Enterprise Development process focuses on collaboration. The best example is two, or ideally, a bevy of independent collaborators. In this case, the incentive is risk share of development. All parties contribute equally to enterprise creation, and share both the risk and reward. A more equitable distribution of wealth is assumed, but only in the case of Distributed Market Substitution. Thus, a prerequisite for Distributive Enterprise Development is a large market size (billions to trillions), which applies to common goods and services. Distributive Enterprise Development applies best above the commodity level, meaning that commodities can be used as feedstocks, though localization and decommodification by diversified local production in circular economies would be the goal.
