Are You Likely to be an Entrepreneur?

June 21st, 2012

Recent survey data by Pokin Yeung sheds light on who becomes an entrepreneur. Some tidbits:

“Over 50 percent of our founders surveyed have a parent who had also started a business.”

“Across the board, startup founders are more likely to do things like play sports, play a musical instrument, or hold a part-time job while still in high school.”

“If you’re a first-born, you are more likely to be a founder — 55 percent more likely than the population distribution.”
