Entrepreneurial confidence refers to the level of self-assurance and belief in one's abilities that entrepreneurs possess. It plays a crucial role in their decision-making process and overall entrepreneurial performance.

Research suggests that confidence can impact how entrepreneurs interpret and make sense of their business environment, influencing their innovative capabilities and decision-making. It also affects majorly how people deal with ideas; one with high entrepreneurial confidence believes more in the execution.
