I have a simple question AI what percentage or actual numbers would be considered true entrepreneurs in the United States state of America


Determining the exact percentage or number of "true entrepreneurs" in the United States can be challenging, as the definition of an entrepreneur can vary. Generally, an entrepreneur is someone who starts and runs their own business, taking on financial risks in hopes of profit. As of recent data (up to 2023), it is estimated that there are approximately 30 million small businesses in the United States. The U.S. Census Bureau often reports that small businesses comprise about 99.9% of all U.S. businesses. If we consider individuals who actively engage in starting and maintaining their own ventures as entrepreneurs, this number could be in the millions. However, if you are seeking more specific data regarding those identified as “true entrepreneurs” (which might imply those who innovate, scale their ventures, or impact the economy significantly), studies suggest that around 10-20% of smaller businesses may fit this more selective definition. In terms of percentages of the population, based on the U.S. adult population being around 250 million, the percentage of people who would be considered entrepreneurs ranges broadly but may often be estimated between 5-15% when accounting for all forms of entrepreneurship, including side hustles and gig economy work. For the most accurate statistics, you might want to refer to reports from organizations like the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) or the Kauffman Foundation, which study entrepreneurship and small business dynamics.
