The Parex Innovation Fellowship is a lifeline for me to be able to allocate resources to entrepreneurial endeavors that often fall outside the scope of academic research. I am fascinated by the ways in which technology is changing the nature of entrepreneurship and making new forms of low-cost but scalable digitial entrepreneurship possible. I teach my students about this and now the Parex Fellowship will allow me to better “walk the talk” and demonstrate in practice what it means to leverage new digital technologies to build products and create value.
