For me that word has negative connotations, not quite a scammer but someone who is not doing honest work but doing some kind of capitalist bs that is only good for themselves, very likely on the expense of others, so I wouldn’t (want to) know.

It can, unfortunately. We might celebrate Steve Jobs as an entrepreneur who started building computers in a garage and grew it into one of the world’s largest companies but that’s not common.
For me the scamminess is pure internet “entrepreneurs”. We’ve all seen those who have no real product or service except self-promotion, and it seems sketchy that part of that is calling themselves an entrepreneur. Basically word inflation: using a more important sounding word to seem more on the level
