• Derives from the French words entre, meaning “between,” and
prendre, meaning “to take.”
• Originally used to describe people who “take on the risk” between
buyers and sellers or who “undertake” a task such as starting a new
venture.

pursue opportunities without regard to resources they currently control
for the purpose of exploiting future goods and services.
