most interested in

Labor marketplaces and vertical markets. Vertical markets might include real estate, education, construction, healthcare, or any other large market that has been resistant to change.

not interested in

I've made a lot of SaaS investments in the past, but I'm interested in software companies that have a distribution hook.
