> That's a lot of SV-speak. How exactly do people step into an entrepreneurial phase?

Oh, you simply decide to use grit and willpower to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, placing some calls to people you met at certain parties aided by a small 6 digit loan from your family. /s

My default expectation of "employees should be more entrepreneurial" is that's it's a kind of victim-blaming. I'm especially cynical if the concept seems is getting introduced by groups that spent the last several decades putting up barriers to entry, drafting non-compete contracts, capturing regulators, and basically pulling up the ladders behind them.
