Prominent VC funds shifted their focus from tech first bets to more traditional sectors in 2023. Can someone outline the reason for this shift ? *Traditional sectors include consumer retail, Banking Financial services and Insurance, manufacturing, shipping and logistics, engineering and construction, and real estate and infrastructure.

Decline in deal volume has been driven by a significant reduction in mega-rounds and a shift towards smaller ticket rounds. This has led to a democratization of investment, with private equity (PE) and growth equity firms doubling their share in deployment to pull even with leading VC firms. Crossover funds have trimmed funding activity and reduced deal volume by approximately 90%, while family offices have continued to provide crucial early-stage capital. Domestic VCs have become significantly more salient, driving more than 90% of the raises and launching several thematic funds focused on emergent themes. This has led to a shift towards traditional sectors that you have mentioned.

The venture capital landscape has matured...a LOT, and investors are becoming more selective in their investment strategies. This has led to a shift towards traditional sectors with strong fundamental tailwinds, such as banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), healthcare, electric mobility, and generative artificial intelligence (AI), these sectors are to bet for the long term, not answerable now. Multiples are huge in these sectors.

I personally think the funding winter has extended, and investors are becoming more cautious due to persistent inflation, elevated interest rates, and potential growth headwinds. This has led to a decline in deal volume and average deal size, with investors becoming more vigilant and raising their expectations.

Because the market is scared right now and they all want to invest in basic businesses that can generate cash. When the bull run returns, they’ll all start doing the opposite. Herd mentality.

Funding is not everything, kids. Reason why traditional business models work is b/c they're tried and tested. Don't bank your lives on bets that "might work out" which'll benefit someone else the most. Strong fundamentals always win.
