General Catalyst

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 

Our CEO and Managing Director, Hemant Taneja recently sat down with Andrew Ross Sorkin on CNBC’s Squawk Box to share how our raise of approximately $8B in new capital will seek to fuel the future of technology and businesses.

There have been some cutting-edge companies built on top of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software focused on "money out." We've been fortunate to back some of the most iconic companies in this space. We believe LLMs are helping to accelerate innovation on the other end: "money in" workflows. Tabs is solving the end-to-end revenue process for finance teams. We are proud to lead Tabs’ $25M Series A and welcome Ali, Deepak, and the entire team to the GC Famiglia. “We are thrilled to support the Tabs team as they build a complete revenue automation platform, bringing LLM-powered solutions to the finance org. In the time we’ve spent with them, we’ve been extremely impressed with their product velocity. We believe the need for a strategic CFO is becoming more critical and are seeing forward-thinking teams leverage innovative technologies to allow them to automate where possible, so they can focus on the biggest questions facing their business." –GC’s Alex Tran More from Alex & Nathaniel → https://lnkd.in/g3pYJ54m

New-era CFOs, in our view, need to be equipped with insight-rich analysis to drive growth, enhance operational efficiencies, and catalyze opportunities for scale.

Reducing the environmental footprint of the built world is essential for global resilience. Emidat’s climate intelligence platform labels every single building material, aiming to save at least 100 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually by 2030. We’re proud to lead Emidat’s €4M seed round and welcome Lisa, Florian, and the entire team to the GC Famiglia. “We see Emidat as a turnkey solution for decarbonizing the mission-critical built environment from the ground up; it will increasingly function as a collaborative platform where the industry can collectively access and exchange material data. We believe this will help drive the speed of industry transformation and value chain efficiency."  -GC’s Samuel Beyer #GlobalResilience More from TechCrunch → https://lnkd.in/dbYaNyuq

AI, in our view, creates a new startup advantage. But it requires a new mindset as well. In my latest Harvard Business Review piece with Fareed Zakaria we explain how startups can thrive in this new age of AI. Founders and investors, as we see it, must embrace that AI is, at its core, a transformation advantage. The startups that could stand to make the biggest impact in this era are those that collaborate with businesses, partner on distribution, and use collaborations on data to drive better technology that startups otherwise wouldn't be able to generate insights with. General Catalyst is using our Creation strategy with the aim to transform businesses across every industry and every vertical. We see tremendous opportunity in businesses that leveraged off-shore labor to onshore themselves with AI productivity—expanding traditional startup markets into services themselves. We've already done this with companies like Hippocratic AI and Crescendo, with much more potential on the horizon.

Commure and HCA Healthcare are partnering on we believe the largest deployment of AI in healthcare in the world through Commure's Ambient AI suite across HCA's 2,400 sites of care. Commure, through its recent acquisition of Augmedix, will support critical workflows in emergency ops, hospitalist operations, and ambulatory care across HCA's network. This AI deployment will enable HCA's healthcare workers to focus more on serving patients, we believe bringing more humanity and proactive care into the patient experience. HCA's leadership (Sam Hazen, Michael Schlosser, MD, MBA, and Mike Marks) have been standout Health Assurance partners, leaning into the innovations that will change healthcare to be more proactive, accessible, and affordable. Very excited to see the Commure team led by Tanay Tandon, Deepika Bodapati, and Dhruv Parthasarathy, show the power of their AI technology powered by Augmedix (Ian Shakil), and this is just the beginning.

We are very encouraged with the bold design choices that Pim and his team have made so far.” -GC’s Niko Bonatsos More from the Highlight team → ei.inc
