Digital technologies have become a new economic and social force, reshaping traditional business models,
strategies, structures, and processes. This also led to a discussion about related terms such as technology
entrepreneurship, digital technology entrepreneurship, and digital entrepreneurship (Giones and Brem,
2017). Digital entrepreneurship is broadly defined as creating new ventures and transforming existing
businesses by developing novel digital technologies or novel usage of such technologies. Digital
entrepreneurship has been viewed as a critical pillar for economic growth, job creation, and innovation by
many countries. Digital technologies have also enabled the growth of the sharing economy linking owners and
users and disrupting the previous dualism of businesses and customers. It is evident that digital technologies
have made significant impacts on the growth of entrepreneurs and their developmental process. As a
consequence, it is imperative to develop a fine-grained understanding of digital entrepreneurship.
