## Summary

The Hard Tech VC post predicts that more capital will enter hard tech in 2027, yet most founders will not feel it. It expects LPs to seek more co-investment in breakout companies, and Series A rounds to fund a repeatable business with defined milestones. The post also warns that exceptional margins in industrial bottlenecks may not survive when new capacity arrives.
