Ask HN: How do you define an entrepreneur?

Your definition goes a bit against the usual definition : https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/entrepreneur

However it could fit a little bit the second less common French definition, where the word is coming from : https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/entrepreneur

But it would require the person to actually take the decisions and to lead. An average employee working on an innovative product doesn't fit the definition.

I agree that it requires one to lead and take decisions. I am not limited to the usual definition. I want to know if you agree or disagree with the usual definition. By the way, leadership reminds me of an excellent essay, Solitude and Leadership by William Deresiewicz: https://theamericanscholar.org/solitude-and-leadership/
