An investor has published an essay outlining a thesis called "Intersections," arguing that venture capital has traditionally invested at the edges of fields, but those edges now overlap, making the most interesting companies those operating where two or three fields converge. The author cites Warp Sciences (led by Kevin Weil) and Ben Lamm's Warhound as examples, both building across three previously unconnected fields. The essay also examines how intersections affect a company's roadmap, using Anduril's recently announced laptop as an illustration that 2017 defense investors never modeled.
