I get up to speed in new domains pretty quickly, but the energy sector is *really* hard. It has dethroned finance from #2 of my domain-difficulty rankings. My current top-7 list:
1. Healthcare
2. Energy
3. Finance
4. Software/"tech"
5. Logistics
6. Automotive
7. Aerospace

Would be really interested in what 'up to speed' is. Is it a vague checklist of things to grasp? A certain levels of connections/relationships within sector? Or something else?

Having gone through this over the past 6 months, there's really no way to get up to speed besides talking to actual industry people. Luckily I find that most energy people, no matter how prominent, are generally pretty friendly and happy to speak

With aerospace at #7, why is it so difficult for VCs to understand?
