Why do some investors consistently make better calls—especially when decisions are fast, uncertain, and high-stakes? Research suggests the answer isn’t only experience or pattern recognition, but when those decisions are made. This workshop draws on Regan Stevenson’s research to examine how subtle and other unexpected drivers, such as investors’ biological timing preferences, influence risk tolerance, judgment quality, and investment outcomes.

Designed for venture capitalists and angel investors, the session translates academic findings into practical implications for diligence workflows, investment committee scheduling, and founder interactions. Participants will leave with concrete strategies to reduce decision fatigue, minimize timing-driven bias, and improve consistency and performance across their investment decisions.
