The objective of this work is to corroborate the dual structure of entrepreneurship. An exploratory, transversal and psychometric work was carried out with a selection of sources indexed to national repositories. The findings were selected considering the period from the pandemic from December 2019 to April 2022, as well as the keywords of entrepreneurship, innovation and optimization. A factorial structure of two components was found that explained the highest percentage of variance. In relation to the state of the art, it is recommended to include the dimension of opportunism to increase the explained variance and adjust the model to the most recent studies that report a third dimension related to the opportunities of the health and economic crisis.
