About
Research background, academic journey, and contributions
Dimo Dimov
I am interested in entrepreneurial thinking, processes, and practice, embracing eclectic perspectives and approaches. Underpinning these is the journey through which entrepreneurial opportunities unfold from initial ideas into viable ventures. This occurs in independent, corporate, and social settings.
My specialty areas are entrepreneurship, innovation, entrepreneurial finance, and venture capital. I am co-founder (with Joseph Pistrui) of Kinetic Thinking, a validated framework for personal and organisational development. It helps individuals, teams and entire organizations capitalize on the changing world of work by deploying new ways of thinking, managing and leading.
