Hot Sectors

Which sector are hot and should I chase them?

“Hot” rotates (AI, climate, defense tech, biotech tooling, fintech infra, etc.), but heat alone isn’t an investment case. Trends bring:
‍

● Pros: richer talent pools, more exit paths, easier downstream capital.
‍
● Cons: higher entry prices, noisy signals, hype risk.

Invest in problems you understand where you can help (distribution, hiring, regulatory, partnerships). If you pursue hot areas, stay disciplined on valuation and milestone risk. Your edge is sharper in sectors where your network and insight surface non‑obvious teams early.
