The Entrepreneur Factor

There has been a thematic approach to investing in entrepreneurs. Investors can tap into the entrepreneurship economy with a targeted strategy to enhance an investment portfolio with quickly rising companies.
So, what is an entrepreneurial company, and how is it different from others? Entrepreneurial companies are led by a main founder. From decades together, founder-run Entrepreneurial companies have shaped the economy by investing in their people and in general innovation, leading to exceptional growth. Many entrepreneurial companies are run by Founder-CEOs.
Their presence is reflected in the company’s performance, and having the right Founder-CEO can make an important difference. The differential between the period with the Founder-CEO still in the company and the period without the founder is approximately 7% in excess return. Entrepreneurs typically provide the difference between success and failure and wealth creation versus wealth destruction. In another sense, disruptive innovation moves at a rapid pace, and only the most capable leaders survive.
