A taxonomy is an entry point
These labels overlap. A climate-software investor may carry Software & AI, Climate & Energy and B2B Software. A life-sciences fund using computational methods may also sit inside the broad AI or deep-tech group. The counts should not be added together and do not represent exclusive market shares.
Broad labels are useful for discovery but insufficient for a fundraising decision. “AI” can mean application software, infrastructure, scientific computing or an enabling-technology thesis. “Deep tech” can span semiconductors, quantum, robotics, advanced materials and biology, each with different capital and time requirements.
From sector match to thesis match
After filtering, founders should read the source-backed description and official investment thesis. Look for comparable business models, technical risk appetite, regulated-market experience, ownership expectations and recent investments. A sector match with no evidence of relevant deals should remain a low-confidence lead.
EverythingVC will continue refining the taxonomy as profiles receive deeper review. The purpose is not to force every firm into one category; it is to make a large, cross-border market searchable while preserving the nuance needed for a serious shortlist.
