This paper investigates socio-economic and perceptual factors affecting the likelihood of being a total early-stageentrepreneur in selectedEU countries (Denmark, Germany, Finland, Swedenand Latvia) during 2005–2012. The data used for our empirical research comes from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). Ourfindings show that the probability to be comeatotalearly-stageentrepreneurincreasesfor males and younger individuals with a bachelor’s degree or secondary education and who are working part time or full time. Furthermore, these entrepreneurs are characterised by a lower fear of failure and higher entrepreneurial skills and perception of opportunity. Policy makers should improve the institutional framework that involves measures aimed at empowering potentialentrepreneurs in finding new market opportunities. Territorial cooperation in a macro-regional perspective may be a facilitator aimed at entrepreneurial development.
