For anyone who's not familiar with the term: A wantrepreneur is an individual that desires to be, but is not quite yet, an entrepreneur. It sometimes has a negative tone that suggests they'll never be an entrepreneur.
- kbyer 13y agoOR, another definition: "Wantrepreneurs" do all sorts of business crap, EXCEPT useful stuff :)(http://www.appsumo.com/sumo-business-blueprint-live/ http://www.appsumo.com/sumo-business-blueprint-live/)
- wickedcoolmatt 13y agoHaha, I like this: "Learn how to kill your inner wantrepreneur."
- jared314 13y agoI disagree with Urban Dictionary[1] on that definition. An entrepreneur who is trying to succeed, but has not, is just an unsuccessful entrepreneur. The negative context is what embodies the "wannabe" in "wantrepreneur", like "gangsta" and "wanksta". It is an insult. The person using the term thinks you have the desire to be seen as an entrepreneur, but neither the skills, nor the inclination, to actually build anything.

- angilly 13y agoYeah the definition on UD definitely misses out on the negative connotation implied.
