Startup-Onomics
The Israeli Extension, Aug 2011

AKA The First Behavioral Economics Summit for Startups.

Startup-Onomics is about infusing behavioral economics into the core DNA of new companies. It’s about HOW your users make decisions and WHY they make them. And more importantly, understanding the implications of this behavior to your bottom line.

Dan Ariely's first Behavioral Economics Summit for Startups is lead by an all-star cast of speakers and takes place in San Francisco. The summit will extend to Israel in a 2-day event, streaming speaker talks live and allowing local startups to interactively join West-Coast gatherers.

My friend Abigail Tenembaum and I are both behavioral economics sworn fans and now we have the joy of delivering the this awesome gift from Dan Ariely to about 20 Israeli startups.

The main website of The San Francisco Behavioral Economics Summit for Startups has more about behavioral economics and how understanding it increases site conversion rates, creates effective pricing strategy, improves customer and employee retention and overall help users change the ‘hard-to-change’ behavior.

And here's all the information about the live streaming event in Israel.

TEDxTelAviv, April 2010

A one-day Spring celebration of imagination and inspiration, featuring profound thinking, jaw dropping demonstrations and sprinkles of entertainment. The event theme -'Thriving on Turmoil' - reflects the inherent contradictions that characterize Israel: ancient-modern, religious-secular, rich-poor, east-west, devout-irreverent, tradition-innovation. TEDxTelAviv demonstrated how this diversity has catalyzed cutting edge technology, world-class research, great works of art and ingenious social entrepreneurship.

I had the privilege of organizing TEDxTelAviv with two good friends, Shimon Schocken and Liat Aaronson, an incredible tribe of TED fans and the backing of leading Israeli companies.
