Introduction: This research presents the validated proposal of an entrepreneur competency profile. We analyzed the phases of the entrepreneurial process, and the functions involved in each of them, in order to identify the tasks involved in each function/role and consequently the specific competencies of entrepreneurs. Method: The proposal was validated in two stages, based on judgments from 6 experts (entrepreneurs and scholars). In the first stage, according to the majority assessment of the participating experts, we established the tasks related to each of the functions involved in phases of the entrepreneurial process. In the second stage and using the same criteria, we analyzed the attitudes and skills involved in each of the competencies needed to carry out each task. Results: We present a profile of the competencies of entrepreneurial individuals, in connection with their functions and tasks. Each competency is then described according to its constituent attitudes and skills. Conclusion: The resulting competency profile is a fundamental tool for designing entrepreneurial training, and is in itself a first step in planning such training, since it helps establish educational goals as well as methodological proposals in order to meet them.
