Sumario:This article seeks to contrast the conventional model of small-scale entrepreneurship, centered around the development of individual abilities, with contributions coming from reflections on associative entrepreneurialism, as evidenced today through the Economics of Solidarity (Economia Solidária) program. The text brings together the major points emerging from critical analysis of small scale entrepreneurship that has been carried out under the auspices of the SEBRAE – Brazilian Service of Support for Small and Micro-enterprise (Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas),  the predominant conceptual and practical reference in this area in Brazil. This is followed by a view of entrepreneurialism anchored in studies of entrepreneurial ventures in which relational and cooperative elements explicitly play a relevant role. Such elements lead to the shaping of an alternativemodel, distinct from conventional patterns in terms of understanding and attentiveness to the needs of organizations linked to the popular economy, whether individual or family businesses, or collective endeavors, such as informal production groups, associations and small cooperatives.
