Concern with being in Industrial Engineering

I am concern because my end goal is to build a company. Many people say that when it comes to build a company or startup, it all goes back to entrepreneurship. I have been feeling that as an IE, I would have less capability in creating tech or engineered products.

So, would it be better for me to change to computer engineering?

the trade off of changing would be my current program, IE major with specialization in software engineering and two minors in ECE and CS. (this looks like appealing to employers for my first few years of working experience). If I change, I would just stick with computer engineering. Both options would add one additional semester to my 4 year plan which I intend to take.

but my end goal is more of a priority building startup/company than how appealing the job demand of industrial engineers, and I feel like my foundation in learning the technical might be more important as the first step.

any advice?
