  • We’re proud to announce that we have raised approximately $8B of new capital, across our core VC funds and separately managed accounts, to fuel the next generation of groundbreaking technologies and businesses. As we venture beyond with entrepreneurs globally to expand what’s possible, the future has never been brighter.    For 25 years, we've been committed to partnering with founders from their beginnings, investing early in companies like Stripe and Airbnb, and creating companies like Livongo, Commure, and Homeward. By scaling our global seed capacity in Europe and India, we’re staying true to our core, while playing the long game to unlock outliers. We’re also doubling down on the founder experience through GC Famiglia — our community of founders, business leaders and policymakers who we support with world-class programming and services. Creating transformative impact through applied AI and global resilience mandates moving beyond the traditional scope of venture capital. So our GC Transformation Flywheel connects innovators with adopters to scale impact through uncommon collaboration. This is reflected in our Health Assurance Transformation Company and GC Institute, and in our new products like the Customer Value Strategy to give founders more non-dilutive opportunities to grow their business. We’re grateful to our LPs for believing in our expansive vision, and invite you to learn more from our CEO Hemant Taneja here: https://bit.ly/gc-xii #VentureBeyond #GlobalResilience #AppliedAI #Startups #VentureCapital

  • To transform healthcare, we need regulatory changes that promote preventative care and support local innovation “sandboxes.” By building collaborative regional health ecosystems and leveraging applied AI, we can make healthcare more proactive, accessible, and affordable for everyone. In their latest Fortune Op-Ed, our CEO Hemant Taneja and General Catalyst Institute President, Teresa Carlson discuss this imperative and build upon our new Health Assurance Policy whitepaper, “U.S. Healthcare That Works: Transformation Through Market-Driven Innovation.” Explore the Fortune Op-Ed → https://lnkd.in/gsPsSXuX More in the comments. #Transformation #HealthAssurance #AppliedAI

    🏥 New Health Assurance Policy Paper out: U.S. Healthcare That Works: Transformation Through Market-Driven Innovation Today, we’re publishing our first healthcare policy paper (https://lnkd.in/gWVjmQw8) by the General Catalyst Institute, co-written with our Health Assurance investment team. Policy isn’t just a factor in healthcare transformation—it’s the critical lever. Our north star is Health Assurance: a proactive, accessible, and affordable system of care for all. And to get there, we need a framework that drives real-world impact: 🔹 Foster healthier outcomes for all 🔹 Refine needed innovations without red tape 🔹 Advance patient-first care, data, and agency 🔹 Maximize fiscal responsibility in U.S. healthcare 🔹 Enhance U.S. medical talent for today and tomorrow The U.S. healthcare system needs bold leadership across the political spectrum to drive value-based care, bend the cost curve, and improve patient outcomes. Health policy shouldn’t be the third rail—it should be the foundation for greater healthspan, affordability, and empowered frontline workers. We want to hear from you: What’s missing? What resonates? This is just the beginning of our policy work, and we’re committed to building solutions with stakeholders across the ecosystem. Huge thanks to our Health Assurance team (Chris Bischoff, Holly Maloney, Elena Viboch, Daryl Tol, Marc Harrison, Candace Richardson, Reva Nohria) and GC Institute team (Teresa Carlson, Maryam Mujica, Peter Nonis) for collaborating across our 100+ health assurance portfolio companies and 23 health system partners to bring this work to life. #HealthAssurance #HealthcareInnovation #AppliedAI #Healthcare #ValueBasedCare

  • Campus is redefining college for a generation that values affordability, accessibility, and a practical path to higher education. We’re honored to lead Campus’ $46M Series B and welcome Tade and the entire team to the GC Famiglia. Kenneth I. Chenault, GC’s Chairman and Managing Director, will join the Board of Directors. “Students are questioning the value of a college degree, and with good reason. Academia simply hasn’t kept pace with expectations and aspirations, while the cost has increased to a price point beyond what is attainable or practical. Campus has created a model that is rooted in the rigor and legacy of American higher education with the benefit of technology and innovation that students will require to thrive in an increasingly competitive global economy.” -Ken Chenault Explore more in the comments.
