Why do you think somebody has vote you down? Maybe because it is a short answer? Strange.

The problem is the lack of evidence to support the claim: something is not true just because a random person on the Internet says it's true.

<p>企業家 (T) or 企业家 (S) is the correct translation for "entrepreneur"
it doesn't indicate the size of  the business that person is running, ,  </p>

<p>For that, we have 大企業家 (T) or 大企业家 (S) meaning large profile entrepreneur)，and 小企業家 (T) or 小企业家 (S) meaning small profile entrepreneur.</p>

So 創業者 (T) or 创业者 (S)  are OK, but  新進企業家 (T) or 新进​​企业家 (S) are more clear. Right? Thank you! :)

<p>I have looked for that word. The most common translation seems to be 企业家. However, I think 企业家 can be confused with big businessman. I want to say 我是企业家, but I'm not a big businessman. I'm just trying to run a startup, so I think I should say 我是一个创业者. Am I right?</p>

企業家 (T) or 企业家 (S) is the correct translation for "entrepreneur"
it doesn't indicate the size of the business that person is running, ,

For that, we have 大企業家 (T) or 大企业家 (S) meaning large profile entrepreneur)，and 小企業家 (T) or 小企业家 (S) meaning small profile entrepreneur.

For a start up business owner, the term is 新進企業家 (T) or 新进​​企业家 (S) meaning start up entrepreneur

創業 (T) or 创业 (S) means "to start a business"

創業者 (T) or 创业者 (S) means " one who starts his or her own business"
