Except you can't get a job doing "entrepenuering."
You create companies by doing a lot of hard work yourself which requires — gasp! — traditional skills like working competently, rapidly and playing nicely in groups of other people.
Only after you've started one or two companies yourself do you get elevated to the lofty heights of pure thought leadership where you don't have to work and people still want to employ you to "lead" them.

- seiji 11y agoThere's a good chance you had to do real, material work before that happens though (unless you have friends in high places that get you on-boarded to Google before you even release a product). and, 'acquihire' without actually building a successful product is the ultimate entreper-poser move, isn't it? You didn't build something users want, you just showed you can be a worthwhile employee for a larger corporate entity. Private success isn't always progress.
