What can behavioral economics teach us about how to launch a successful startup?
Barton Hamilton, PhD, professor of entrepreneurship at Washington University in St. Louis’ Olin Business School, will present “Nudging Entrepreneurship” at 8 a.m. Tuesday, July 16 at Rubin Brown on 16th Street in Denver.
