Looking at the stats from the summer 19 batch, the highest category, over 1/3, was B2B.

Looking historically:

There is definite trend in B2B (for those seeking entry, hint drop there). Is there a particular reason behind this?

- More exciting companies?

- Less risky companies?

- B2B has better valuations?
