Type of entrepreneur

Vic Ahmed is an innovator. Innovators measure their success based on the effect of the

activities they undertake ad the mission of the business (Gitman etal, 2018). These types of

entrepreneurs have unique ideas to make things better and to do things differently.

involved. Another characteristic that makes Vic a successful entrepreneur is innovation. He is an

innovative person because he came up with an innovative idea which has led to the business. The

third characteristic that makes Vic Ahmed a successful entrepreneur is collaboration. In order for

Written Assignment WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT 3

Focusing on smaller cities

Focusing on smaller cities is a better strategy because smaller cities tend to allow people

to develop and penetrate business and social networks faster. Therefore, there are very many

star-up companies in smaller cities as compared to bigger cities (Hatten, 2016). The company

can be able to find many start-up companies and businesses in smaller cities.

Focusing on smaller cities is a good strategy because smaller cities are more affordable.

The cost of office space and the cost of living in smaller cities is better compared to large cities.

This will make it easier for the company to purchase a space to provide to start-ups. In a smaller

city, the company can be able to afford a bigger and nicer space (Hatten, 2016). The low cost of

space an enable the company to do more with less.

Another reason is that smaller cities make innovators more visible. In a small city, the

company would be more visible as compared to the Silicon Valley area. This can enable the

company to attract many start-up companies and hence reach the goal.

Similar Business

A business incubator similar to Vic Ahmed’s vision can be a good start-up in my

community. The reason is that the community is in a small city. In the community, there are very

many start-up companies. Additionally, there are very many people looking for a place to start

their business. The company can have access to many businesses. The company can also be able

to have a big space to rent out to start-ups. This can enable the company to make profits. The

spaces in the city are affordable and very big. Therefore, a similar business incubator can

succeed in the community.

Commented [WS2]: Awkward worded sentence. The word “an” does not appear to fit.
