The Technopreneur

“
A technopreneur is an entrepreneur who is
technology savvy, creative, innovative, dynamic,
dares to be different and take the unexplored
path, and very passionate about their work.
They take challenges and strive to lead their life
with greater success. They don't fear to fail. They
take failure as a learning experience, a stimulator
to look things differently and stride for next
challenge. Technopreneurs continuously go
through an organic process of continual
improvement and always try to redefine the
dynamic digital economy.
