Software vs. Other Tech Sectors

What is the dispersion between software and other tech sectors within Technology coverage? 

I've been told (maybe wrong) that pods typically have more hardware / semis / internet / fintech roles rather than software ? If that's true, what's the reason? 

As a SW PE investor, I would imagine that if one knows software well, internet & fintech aren't hard to pickup. Hardware is a different game.

Nam aut quis sit quo dignissimos a aut. Aut incidunt neque repellendus debitis. Dolores aut totam repellendus qui expedita.

Modi totam iste perferendis nemo occaecati. Consequatur enim magnam ipsam cum. Nemo nobis excepturi laboriosam iure.

Sed maiores dolorum facere quas dolor rerum. Id dolores sed quam vel. Et enim voluptatem similique hic distinctio cum. Voluptatem aut pariatur in. Pariatur est dolore quo repellendus.

Praesentium ea ipsam nemo quisquam odio inventore. Ipsum vero magnam sequi magnam et consequatur.
