How can 130 people say they are "entrepeneurs" when they don’t come up for their salary/living expenses themselves? If you don’t do that you’re an employee or not?
- mtrimpe 18y agoI consider entrepreneurship a part of my identity. That I'm having to work part-time while building my own business only means that I'm not a self-sufficient entrepreneur yet.
- marcus 18y agoI think the founders of every pre-revenue bootstrapped startup fall into those two categories simultaneously. In my case I am living of the money from a previous exit.
- Jakob 18y agoI don’t know much about pre-revenue bootstrapped startups but to me seems they carry no risk since everything is paid for them. So they are company-owners but no entrepeneurs in the sense of the word because that would mean they hold all responsibilities for their doing.
- dkokelley 18y agoBecause coming up with salary/living expenses for themselves is not the definition of entrepreneur. The successful ones do it, but there are plenty of not-yet-successful entrepreneurs.
