The Anatomy of an Entrepreneur
5 Oct 2009 | No Comments | posted by admin | in Entrepreneurship
In a recent paper published by The Kaufmann Foundation of Entrepreneurship, the motivation and family background of “typical” entrepreneurs has been examined. The Anatomy of an Entrepreneur is a pretty interesting read if you are interested, and there were some things that really jumped out at me in this research:
1. Do you think that most entrepreneurs are under the age of 40? If so, then you would be wrong. The majority of the founders started their companies at the age of 40+.
2. Entrepreneurship is genetic! Nope. Only 15.2% of the entrepreneur surveyed had a sibling that had also created a company.
