– Venture-capital backed startups are mostly concentrated in the software industry, leaving other sectors with minimal investment.
– This lack of investment in important sectors means fewer new companies and ideas, forcing industries to rely on existing firms or slow-growing startups.
– Fifty Years, a venture capital firm, has compiled data on investment in different industries and created an “Opportunity Ratio” to highlight underfunded sectors.
– While some industries may face challenges that make them unsuitable for investment, there is potential in unsexy industries like paper, which could benefit from related technologies such as mass timber or biochar.
– The data provided by Fifty Years offers valuable insights into the investment landscape across industries.
