Opportunities in Inefficient Markets
In venture capital, geographic focus heavily influences investment opportunities, with a significant concentration of funding going to just three states: California, New York, and Massachusetts. This leads to inefficiencies in markets beyond these areas, creating potential for better investment returns. Startups located in undercapitalized regions are often undervalued and overlooked, presenting unique opportunities for investors willing to seek out these hidden gems. By identifying and supporting founders from such geographical backgrounds, investors can capitalize on ventures that larger firms may disregard.
