#87: What is Change Investing? Actually, What Is Change?!

At Coburn Ventures, the investment philosophy and process grew out of change investing. But to understand change investing, we might want to understand change.

One of the first steps of change investing is a simple recognition of how much we subconsciously anchor to what's going on today staying the same, whereas, in reality, change is happening all around us, all the time, in ways that we do and do not immediately recognize or want to recognize.
