FairShares Commons Business Model Design
The FairShares Commons (FSC) is a legally incorporated agentic company structure — not owned by anyone, but held in stewardship by its stakeholders for the benefit of all life. Also serving as the perfect and only viable legal wrapper, on the market, for a DAO.
It’s built on a multi-stakeholder governance model with clearly defined share classes for founders, workers, users, and investors — and designed to balance agency, accountability, and contribution across all forms of capital.
The FSC can be for-profit or non-profit (with model articles approved by the UK Financial Conduct Authority but can be legally patterned in your preferred jurisdiction). It legally encodes regenerative economics, protects against extraction and sale, and enables conditions for shared wealth, self-governance, and purpose-led resilience over the long term.
What you'll do: The startup team designs & develops an all-capitals, all-stakeholders business model canvas, which then becomes the basis for incorporating the company to multiply all capitals, not just financial capital. This takes the startup through to having a business model validated with all of the stakeholders involved, and all of the capitals that the regenerative business touches.
This process takes at least three months, where participants complete 2 to 3 design sprints, developing hypotheses and testing them. Modules include: Business Model Canvas, Legal & IP, Financial modeling - Ergodic Investment Strategies.
In parallel, the startup team lays the foundations for ongoing operations.
Governance & Organization Design
What you'll do: Startup teams will become proficient in using the latest approaches to working together, including consent / integrative decision-making, functional versus management accountability & role hierarchies. The basis is Sociocracy.
Participants, in facilitated workshops, will gain competence in reaching rapid, efficient decisions that take into account all understanding from everyone in the team; in how to structure organisations as functional, human accountability hierarchies, So that the startups working processes can change faster than their changing business environment demands. This minimises the risk of startup failure caused by slow reactions, and information on opportunities and risks not reaching decision-makers in time. Companies using these processes consistently outperform their peers.
Human Development and Relational Process
What you'll do: This is an intense, transformational process of self and team development. Participants, in live Dojo sessions, get to work on their inner and relational capacity to adapt and grow their socio-emotional, as well as cognitive capacity. By applying the Adaptive Way peer to peer developmental dialogue patterns in a safe space, you'll grow your capacity to be well equipped when conflict emerges and transform these tensions into strengths and personal growth.
In particular, participants develop proficiency in using nonviolent communication, Kegan’s Immunity to Change processes, and the systems thinking elements of the 28 post logical thought forms.
Even if a startup team or individual only progresses to the end of this 3 month programme, but does not incorporate, they will have gained personal skills they will use for the rest of their life.
