Building a brighter future through technology requires normal people to do abnormal things.

Joe Schorge took to the stage at TedX Athens to talk about funding innovation to a generalist audience. The talk was not aimed at the VC industry, but rather discusses the paradox of funding innovation: investors are trained to use past success and patters to predict and de-risk investments for the future, however funding real innovation by definition requires backing unproven ideas, people and projects. As such, building a brighter future through technology requires normal people to do abnormal things.
