An entrepreneur creates a new business and takes on most of the risk, while an intrapreneur works within an existing company to develop new ideas or projects. Adolf Dassler founded the sportswear company Adidas after developing innovative spiked shoes. Orkut Buyukkokten created the social network Orkut while working at Google, which later acquired and launched the popular site before shutting it down in 2014.
