General Catalyst

General Catalyst is a global investment and transformation company backing ambitious founders from pre-seed through growth. Its core thesis centers on applied AI and global resilience — embedding AI into existing industry verticals (healthcare, defense & intelligence, climate & energy, industrials, fintech) to drive systemic transformation rather than mere disruption. GC operates a 'Transformation Flywheel' model that bridges innovators with large-scale adopters, and runs dedicated strategies: Ignition (early-stage), Endurance (growth equity), Health Assurance, and Creation (co-building with incumbents). It invests globally with particular focus on the US, Europe, and India.
