Feedback defined The term 'feedback' is used to describe the helpful information or criticism about prior action or behavior from an individual, communicated to another individual (or a group) who can use that information to adjust and improve current and future actions and behaviors.

Feedback in communication is the response, reaction, or information given by the recipient of a message to the sender. It is the process of letting someone know which areas they need to improve.

Feedback is “information provided by an agent regarding aspects of one's performance or understanding”. It's a reaction to a learners' action that aims to engage, inform and increase knowledge by reducing “discrepancies between current understandings and performance and a goal”.

Feedback should help entrepreneurs to validate their assumptions, test their hypotheses, and measure their impact. Feedback should also help entrepreneurs to develop their skills, competencies, and mindsets. Feedback should be framed as a learning opportunity, not a judgment or criticism.
