entrepreneurism
Starting new ventures
Entrepreneurism is the practice or spirit of starting and running businesses, especially with innovation and risk-taking.
The word overlaps almost completely with entrepreneurship, though entrepreneurism may emphasize the mindset or ideology more than the activity itself: Silicon Valley runs on entrepreneurism.
The program teaches entrepreneurism to young people.
