I think there are games that get closer to what you’re talking about. 18xx has some elements of that, as does Pipeline (which focuses on infrastructure and efficient planning). But I think a true entrepreneurship game would be incredibly difficult/impossible. Brass is very close.

I’m still waiting for an economic board game that actually lets you do entrepreneurial things, instead of just gesturing at entrepreneurship by encouraging you to have cubes ready at the right time. I want to manufacture coal (or whatever) and haggle (with players, or an AI market, or both) over the price for that coal because I think I see a market need that I can meet at a profit. I don’t want to earn VP for emptying a building; I want to earn sweet, sweet cash by selling everything in the building at a price I agreed on and then use that cash to win.
