Economics & Entrepreneurship

Here are a few types of entrepreneurs:

Builder

Builders seek to create scalable businesses within a short time frame.

Opportunist

Opportunistic entrepreneurs are optimistic individuals with the ability to pick out financial opportunities, get in at the right time, stay on board during the time of growth, and exit when a business hits its peak.

Innovator

Innovators are those rare individuals that come up with a great idea or product that no one has thought of before. These individuals worked on what they loved and found business opportunities through that.

Rather than focusing on money, innovators care more about the impact that their products and services have on society. These individuals are not the best at running a business as they are idea-generating individuals, so often they leave the day-to-day operations to those more capable in that respect.

Specialist

These individuals are analytical and risk-averse. They have a strong skill set in a specific area obtained through education or apprenticeship. A specialist entrepreneur will build out their business through networking and referrals, resulting in slower growth than a builder entrepreneur.
