A sector appears here once we document at least 10 programs naming it. Below that the page would be a heading and an empty grid.
Why sector beats geography
Geography used to be the sourcing edge. You knew a city, you knew who was building in it, and proximity did the rest. Remote work took most of that apart. The founders in your city are now raising from funds three time zones away, and the fund three time zones away already knows they exist.
Domain knowledge did not erode the same way. Reading a clinical trial design, recognizing that a model architecture is a real departure, knowing which parts of a supply chain are actually hard: none of that is available to someone who just moved to the right city. It takes years, and you may already have them.
That is the case for choosing a sector rather than a region. The programs below are the ones that have told us where they look.
