I have looked for that word. The most common translation seems to be 企业家. However, I think 企业家 can be confused with big businessman. I want to say 我是企业家, but I'm not a big businessman. I'm just trying to run a startup, so I think I should say 我是一个创业者. Am I right?

企業家 (T) or 企业家 (S) is the correct translation for "entrepreneur" it doesn't indicate the size of the business that person is running, ,

For that, we have 大企業家 (T) or 大企业家 (S) meaning large profile entrepreneur),and 小企業家 (T) or 小企业家 (S) meaning small profile entrepreneur.

For a start up business owner, the term is 新進企業家 (T) or 新进​​企业家 (S) meaning start up entrepreneur

創業 (T) or 创业 (S) means "to start a business"

創業者 (T) or 创业者 (S) means " one who starts his or her own business"


T: Traditional Chinese

S: Simplified Chinese

    創業者 is 创业者 in traditional characters, I don't know how to input simplified characters.

  • So 創業者 (T) or 创业者 (S) are OK, but 新進企業家 (T) or 新进​​企业家 (S) are more clear. Right? Thank you! :)

  • The problem is the lack of evidence to support the claim: something is not true just because a random person on the Internet says it's true.
