noun
/än-trə-prə-nər-shɪt/
Definition:
The startup-industrial complex at its finest — when someone spends more time on stage pitching their business than actually building or running it. Think endless pitch competitions, accelerator programs, and small grants that keep the illusion alive.
It’s what happens when someone builds a business about building a business — complete with Instagrammable workshops, inspirational one-liners, and “awards” for promising to someday maybe do something. Their real product? The pitch. Their business model? Survive off grant money until the next accelerator application opens.
