Are there any true crossover funds where you cover both publics and privates at the VP level?

Look I know it's ridiculous to say, ok this guy should cover both publics and privates across industries as someone right after MBA. That's just too big of a bite to chew. 

But if you were to get one sector to cover from seed to a few years IPO in one of the industries that has extremely strong activity there, that would make sense, right?

It's just a big of a bite to chew as something like, generalist late stage venture, or generalist public; instead, you're just slicing vertically instead of horizontally. Your expertise is the domain, not the asset class.
