ANN ARBOR – IT Zone member CompanyCrafters is offering a new and valuable resource to our entrepreneurial community ? The Entrepreneur?s Dictionary.
This guide to business terms is for everyone in the startup game: entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, startup executives, service providers, new-business-development specialists, university technology transfer professionals, inventors and anyone launching a new venture.
?I?ve had a great time working on this project,? reports Jim Price, principal of CompanyCrafters. ?Not only is it a useful tool for my University of Michigan business school students and our CompanyCrafters clients, it?s re-connected me with colleagues from Stanford and around the country that have responded with suggestions for words and definitions.? Jim adds, ?I?m happy to share this ever-growing and evolving dictionary with members of the IT Zone and Ann Arbor?s entrepreneurial community.?
The Entrepreneur?s Dictionary is the secret decoder ring for ?startup business speak.? The vast majority of new startup businesses are launched by people who have deep expertise in their particular field, but not a lot of experience speaking the language of investors and CEOs. A quick look at the definitions found in The Entrepreneur?s Dictionary for angel, chasm, and harvest, reveals a world apart from the one defined by Webster. This guide helps clear away some of the mystery associated with business concepts and terminology.
You can access The Entrepreneur?s Dictionary through the IT Zone website or directly at CompanyCrafters.Com/Resources.htm
