VC-funded entrepreneurs are individuals or teams that have secured financial investment from [[🔎 Venture Capital (VC)]] firms to start or grow their businesses. These entrepreneurs typically operate in high-growth industries such as technology, biotech, or renewable energy, where the potential for scalability and significant returns on investment is high. The funding received is used to accelerate growth, develop products, expand market reach, and achieve milestones that would be challenging to accomplish with bootstrapped resources alone. ## Prominent examples: - [[Adam Neumann]]: [[WeWork]] - [[Brian Chesky]]: [[🏦 Airbnb ($ABNB)]] - [[Reid Hoffmann]]: [[Linkedin]]
