Entrepreneurs and investors tend to perceive risky situations more optimistically than others. With overconfidence being one of the most common issues in behavioral science, we want to give you some insights into the field of Behavioral Finance. In this short session you will get an understanding of the nature of behavioral biases and learn how you as an entrepreneur can take advantage of the systematic errors in our cognitive reasoning. In addition, we will analyze how entrepreneurs can use their emotions for hedging their financial decisions.
