Type 2: kind of an embarrassment to be held up as an example of Silicon Valley innovation. They might be legitimate entrepreneurs and they might make money, but in terms of being world-changing, let’s not be absurd
Eh? Is that really what people consider an embarrassment these days? And since when did "entrepreneur" have anything do with a location?

When you get down to what early economists were thinking when they coined the term, it seems to me like it's about giving it a shot in the face of uncertainty, rather than about the type of work (or even the work's success). (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Cantillon)
If you're selling underwear subscriptions, calling yourself a weekend-website "CEO" or taking silly seed investment to avoid missing paychecks, maybe you're not really risking.
You don't need to come up a title for that - you kinda already know it's not the same thing.
