creation vs discovery
typology of entrepreneurs
there are many types
main types are:
nascent entrepreneurs : have ideas, did not start yet
new entrepreneurs: start-ups
serial entrepreneurs: have started more than one
Portfolio entr.: more than one under same umbrella
former entr.: sold company or retired and give advices or invest
gazelle entr.: fast growing ones, create job opportunities
stable entr.: remain at the same level, don't want to grow
there are also additional types, and with the day the list grows: green entr., studentrepreneurs, etc
start-up motivation
basic motives: greed (="I want to have it"), love, fear, prove yourself, status, commitment, curiosity

bootstrapping: A range of activities aimed at absorbing and borrowing resources at no/low
financial cost from the entrepreneur’s social networks
micro credit: small-scaled form of debt finance, possibly accompanied by other forms of micro
finance, for example insurance and saving, in combination with weak requirements for collateral
Entrepreneurship 3
, Some downsides: high interest levels, often no clear effects, some financers profit unequally,
high monitoring costs, lack of clarity about payback (dependence?)
crowdfunding: large number of investors investing with small amounts in the firm, with(out)
intended compensation, often via internet platforms
intangible resources: human capital, network, intellectual capital, reputation
good fortune

discovery, exploitation, valley of entrepreneurial death, triple P(profit-people-planet).
