Generalist funds are falling behind as LPs increasingly back focused, thesis-driven managers with clear access, credibility, and founder value. In this VC Lab session, we'll break down why specialist funds are outperforming generalists, how specialization helps managers convert LP commitments faster, and how emerging managers can translate their background, deal flow, and ecosystem edge into a fund strategy that stands out. Whether you are a solo GP, venture scout, accelerator operator, or first-time fund manager, discover how to define your specialist advantage and build a fund LPs can believe in.
