What makes an entrepreneur?

Well my financial dictionary defines it thus:

A person who organizes, finances and manages a business that produces and sells goods or services.

Something missing?

Yeah, guts, courage, chutzpah, zest, zing, drive, excitement, visionary, self starter, thinker, originator, people skills, communicator. These qualities and more are what defines entrepreneurs.

I have  been talking to many new business people with start ups at Techcrunch this week, and they have these characteristics, and when you put them all in a room together it’s electric and  ideas are born.

I’ll be telling some of their stories this week.
