I think a lot of it has to do with a sense that they need to use this title in order to gain legitimacy in the startup community. I met lots of people calling themselves entrepreneurs who have never started a business and I meet lots of pe

Interesting points and I think you are spot on with this assessment. I've not used Color, but been at an event where it was used. Frankly, what I saw was a mass of photos all of the same thing - various angles of the inside of a historic
