venturers
Bold enterprise seekers
Venturers are people who undertake risky or speculative enterprises.
The term appears in business contexts for participants in joint ventures and in historical references to merchant adventurers who financed exploratory voyages: The venturers pooled their capital hoping for returns from the spice trade.
In some countries, Venturers is a designation for older youth in scouting programs.
