Summary/Abstract: The main goal behind this article is to develop tools for entrepreneurship analysis and typology. The individual types of entrepreneurship will serve as viable models of economic initiative in the era of SARSCoV-2 pandemic. Therefore, our ambition is to present ideal-type models for ex ante and ex post evaluation of pandemic events. The article is theoretical in nature, and relies on a discussion of specific views, terms and concepts. Through our analysis, we identified four primary models of entrepreneurship with their associated opportunities and risks brought to light by the epidemic developments.Our conceptual evaluation of ideal types of entrepreneurship ultimately leads to the development of a future model. This model is „relational entrepreneurship” which marries social and individual aspirations. In addition, it reconciles two basic forms of utility, economic and moral.
