My research focuses on both sides of entrepreneurial opportunities –
how potential entrepreneurs create them and how investors select them. In
studying these, I employ knowledge and learning perspectives at the
individual and firm levels. At the individual level, I examine the nature
of opportunities as well as the individual-context interaction from which
they emerge. At the firm level, in the context of venture capital
investing, I examine the knowledge, social, and ecological factors that
affect portfolio selection and performance.
