Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneur

Builds a business from an idea, and carries the risk of it.

About the work

Founders find a problem worth solving, build a first version, sell it, and keep the business alive long enough to grow.

A day in the life

Customer calls, building or delegating, fundraising, hiring, and everything nobody else will do.

How people get in

No fixed path; commercial exposure, a network and savings runway matter more than a degree.
