Investment focus

General Catalyst invests across seed, venture, and growth stages with a focus on applying AI and technology to transform core societal systems — including healthcare, enterprise software, defense, and financial services — at global scale. The firm emphasizes "unscaling" industries through data and AI to deliver personalized, resilient solutions rather than simply making legacy systems larger.
