the help of a survey held in Estonia. Moreover, various creative ambition in relation to
business development is expressed and these visions are not considered to be focus area by
the entrepreneurs. Several ideas were shared with the researchers by the innovative
entrepreneur with help of cross boarder networking. On the contradictory side, other
entrepreneur just takes advice from the nearby family and friends. Both efficient-driven and
innovative-driven economies were benefitted with the help of cross border knowledge shared
between early stage entrepreneur. In the early stage of entrepreneurs, personal knowledge
