Best funds that focus primarily on (1) tech (e.g., hardware, consumer internet, enterprise software) and (2) consumer

I'm trying to make a list as I get serious about my HF search. So far I know good ones on the tech side:

SQN
Sequoia
Altimeter
Dragoneer post-IPO
Light Street
Abdiel

And then on the overall, I think there's also

Darsana
Coatue (believe they are tech and consumer discretionary)

As you can see I am an outsider in this world so am not quite sure who's who and what funds I should be targeting... as I have recently posted I am looking to make a switch anywhere from immediately through to 3-4 years when I finish bschool (if I don't switch now) so want to have a very narrow list of targets.

Thanks,

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”
