Sector-Specific VCs

Sector-Specific VCs are venture capital firms focused on investing in startups in a particular industry vertical or sector. They develop deep expertise in areas like healthcare, fintech, consumer, or enterprise software. Sector-specific knowledge allows them to better evaluate startups and support their portfolio companies. Prominent sector-specific firms include General Catalyst for consumer, First Round Capital for SaaS, and Khosla Ventures for sustainability. Founders benefit from industry-specialized VCs that understand their target market. The top sector-specific firms also have valuable relationships with key companies and influencers in their focal sectors. On the flip side, sector-specific VCs are more exposed to downturns in their particular industries. The most successful develop expertise across multiple synergistic verticals to mitigate risk while leveraging knowledge advantages.
