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 Customer Value Fund (CVF) accelerates Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) as an asset, giving founders the right capital to scale ambitiously. Félix, a chat-based remittance platform, has partnered with Harry, Pranav, Karanveer, and the CVF team to accelerate their growth as part of Felix’s latest $75M fundraising round. CVF's funding gives Felix dedicated capital for CAC, allowing the team to continue scaling, while freeing up equity for further product growth, and without placing any risk on the company. We’re excited to welcome Manuel and the entire team to the GC Famiglia. "We've been blown away by the team at Felix and by how much its users love the product. We're thrilled to fuel their go-to-market from the Customer Value Fund, enabling Felix to double down on its tremendous growth, while continuing to invest in product innovation." -GC’s Harry Elliott Explore more in the comments.
