Hello, teachers. I want to use the word 'entrepreneurship'. I want to say you can't see that kind of entrepreneurship anywhere else. Could you improve the bold sentence. Thanks in advance.

America is such an innovative nation. The entrepreneurship there is insane. Facebook has changed the way we communicate, Google has changed the way we gather information, and Uber has changed the way we travel. These companies are from the United States.
 
Your sentences are fine, though I'm not sure what you mean by 'insane'.

Thanks, Rover. By 'insane', I want to say Americans are way way way more entrepreneurial than people in any other country. How to say that? Is this clearer?

America is such an innovative nation. The entrepreneurship there is not something you can see in any other country.

That's definitely better than the original.

'See entrepreneurship' is actually idiomatic?
Please confirm, teachers.
 
I think insane is fine in some contexts. It's not formal or scholarly, but in casual conversation and writing, it wouldn't be taken literally. You're not saying the entrepreneurs are crazy. You're saying that the extent of it is boggling—and you're saying it emphatically.

There's nothing wrong with lively language. If the sentence is not for a formal address or academic paper, I'd keep insane. It works!

I think it works better with something like my suggested sentence.
