Internet entrepreneurs come in all shapes and sizes.
Some are students or technology 'nerds', others come from the world of traditional business, while many have given up earlier careers as management consultants, accountants or lawyers to join the Internet revolution. But it is what they share in common that defines these new age heroes. They are the 'prospectors' of this new gold rush - people of imagination and vision who are not afraid to take risks and challenge conventional wisdom. And like their Klondike counterparts, they are driven by a determination to succeed. They know that the Internet can be used not just to cut costs, streamline supply chains and improve business efficiency, but also to expand business horizons, reach out across the globe and grow new sources of revenues.
