Where Were They and What Were They Doing Before They Became Entrepreneurs?

Abstract

The road map for discovering investment opportunities begins within the technology transfer process. Prior to the start up of a venture, or the creation of a new product, there is a business process that involves technology transfer of innovation from one person to another person. One of those persons is commonly called an entrepreneur.

Within the universe of latent and real entrepreneurs, there exists the most valuable breed of entrepreneur called the "serial entrepreneur." This person goes down life's path, like a high tech Johnny Appleseed, spreading seeds of innovation over and over again.
