General Catalyst

'Global investment and transformation company' — venture returns paired with applied-AI and healthcare system-building at scale.

Founded in 2000 in Cambridge, Massachusetts by Joel Cutler and David Fialkow, General Catalyst has expanded under CEO Hemant Taneja from a New England venture shop into a global, multi-stage investment firm managing more than $43B as of December 2024. It pairs traditional venture investing with longer-horizon transformation bets in healthcare, defense and applied AI, and absorbed Europe's La Famiglia in 2024.
