Want to learn about others' motivations?? Evaluate start-up ideas, earn money from the ones you choose to "invest" in, and learn more about how you make investment decisions! All while helping out academic research on entrepreneurship :)

Hey everyone -- I'm running a game where you browse start-up ideas, make some investments, and see how much cash you earn on them, and I would be eternally grateful if you would take 20-25 minutes to participate in it!

I'm a researcher in the University of Zurich's business school and am conducting this project for academic purposes. You'll be given $10 to "invest" in various start-ups. Players will earn money based on the success of these real start-ups' actual crowdfunding campaigns, defined as the percentage of target fundraised; you could triple your money - or lose almost all of it. Everyone will be sent the money they earn through their "investments" via Venmo, PayPal, or in an Amazon gift card.

I would really appreciate you participating in our study since this is a community interested in motivation and entrepreneurship!

I will post the findings from our study here once it is over so you can learn more about our research if you are interested. You can also request individualized feedback about your investment decisions if you would like it.
