Abstract
Using the data obtained from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor study through eight cycles of measurement, this work builds a profile of Colombian entrepreneurs considering the perspective of the entrepreneurial pipeline developed by Varela and Soler (2012), from 2006 to 2011. This research determines the profile of entrepreneurs in four points of the entrepreneurial pipeline: (1) intentional entrepreneurs, (2) nascent entrepreneurs, (3) new entrepreneurs and (4) established entrepreneurs. Gender, age, income level, and education level allowed longitudinal comparisons to identify prevailing characteristics. The relationship between these four variables and the four types of entrepreneurs in the pipeline was examined, in order to evaluate at what level one element explains the other.References
