Get to know Dinesh
What’s your favourite invention or innovation?
While I was taught that I should always 'seize the day,' I smartly convinced myself that the day could always wait for another nine minutes. So my favourite invention is clearly the snooze button.
What would you do with an hour of unexpected free time?
I'd learn how to use tone curves in Adobe Lightroom to fix my years of terrible photography. Plus, I'd be able to check off a ten-year-old to-do list item.
If you could have any superpower?
I'd love to step five years into the future to give myself advice on the people and things I should spend time on now and what I shouldn't worry about. And while I'm there, I'll cheat a bit and jot down all five-year-old non-Accel-funded startups that are killing it.
