Abstract

Entrepreneurship has transformed under the influence of venture capital and artificial intelligence. Success increasingly depends on access to capital, speed of execution, adaptability, and the ability to build strategic networks. This shift has produced serial and parallel entrepreneurs, accelerated innovation, and reshaped markets. Yet it has also amplified inequality, raised ethical concerns, and forced society to question whether technology is truly creating a better world. In this evolving landscape, entrepreneurs and investors hold unprecedented power – and equally unprecedented responsibility – to ensure innovation serves society, not just markets.
