Today at @HLTH, we announced a big leap forward in our Health Assurance journey.
Introducing HATco - Health Assurance Transformation Corporation - a new company owned by General Catalyst & focused on accelerating the transformation of healthcare delivery. Part of HATco's plan is to acquire & operate a health system for the long term where we can demonstrate the blueprint of this transformation for the rest of the industry, including our partnership of over 20 leading healthcare systems.
"HATco’s charter is not to disrupt healthcare systems; rather, it is to be in service of healthcare organizations everywhere to change how they deliver a fundamentally better experience for consumers – & to prove the transformative effect of a true partnership between technologists, caregivers & capital. It is our belief that by making these organizations more profitable, more vibrant & more innovative, they will be better equipped to serve everyone in their communities with greater impact." -GC's @htaneja & HATco CEO @MarcHarrisonMD

At General Catalyst, seed is where we put our deepest conviction to work. Our team has backed companies like @anduriltech, @AppliedInt, @HelsingAI, @WeAreLegora, @mercor_ai, @stripe, and @ZeptoNow from the first days, long before their ideas looked obvious. To us, the best seed companies are hidden truths waiting to be activated. The best founders see the future and aren't afraid to build it. And at GC, we’re committed to this journey.
Here’s what GC Seed means in practice:
Shaping the Ambiguity – We thrive in the ambiguity of the early innings when your product is still a sketch on a whiteboard, and we stay with you through every pivot, milestone, and late-night “messy middle” moment. Because each of us has been there ourselves.
The GC Famiglia – A treasure trove of 800+ relationships with world leading Fortune 500 CEOs, founders, and operators who open doors, pressure-test go-to-market plans, and share hard-won wisdom when the road feels lonely. We call it Famiglia because that's how it's lived: over pizza and drinks.
Uncommon Talent – Ask any founder what keeps them up at night in the earliest days and most will give the same answer: finding the best technical talent. At GC, we've built a specialized talent team that knows how to identify and connect the kind of engineers who don't just write code, but who redefine what’s possible.
Capital that Keeps Pace – We want to co-conspire with you on what will create meaningful capital leverage for your business. From the first check to thoughtful follow-ons, we give you the breathing room to play offense, not just manage downside.
If you’re building in a space where the problems are hard and the impact can be huge (like applied AI, dual-use technologies, frontier industrials, and more) we’d love to be your first call.

We believe AI agents will soon power significant portions of online traffic. That's why we're investing in @GoKiteAI's $18M Series A alongside PayPal Ventures, building the foundational trust infrastructure for autonomous agents to transact at machine speed.
We led Kite's seed round and now we're doubling down on founders @ChiZhangData and @scottshics. Swarms of agents need new infrastructure to operate independently at scale. Kite delivers this with Agent Identity Resolution (AIR), using cryptographic attestations and stablecoins to enable agents to authenticate, discover services, and settle transactions on-chain. This showcases applied AI’s transformative potential.
“Kite is doing the foundational work we believe will define how agents operate tomorrow. They are building the rails for the machine-to-machine economy.” -GC’s @marcbhargava

Today GC welcomes @venturehighway to the GC family! Led by @neerajarora (former WhatsApp CBO) and @TheMadrasVC (former entrepreneur), VH is a leading early-stage VC firm based in Bangalore, India. Thanks to fantastic work on the ground by partners Alex Tran and @deepnishar, GC has been investing in India since 2019, backing marquee companies like @CRED_club, @myspinny, @OrangeHealth_, and @loophealthHQ. VH takes our capabilities and commitment to a new level.
There has never been a more exciting time for us to double down on India. With VH, we believe the opportunity to harness world-class talent, innovate solutions to global challenges, and drive transformation and resilience in critical industries—healthcare, energy, manufacturing, financial services—is unparalleled.
Coming on the heels of @lafamigliaVC, this merger strengthens GC’s global seed capability, and positions us to play an impactful role in fueling Indo-US-Europe collaboration. It also reinforces our commitment to early-stage founders, which remains our core.
“Combining our US seed team with Venture Highway in India and La Famiglia in Europe, we are committing deeply to becoming great at supporting the world's best founders at the earliest stages…The combined capabilities of the two firms will allow us to be much more hands-on and effective going forward in India. I am especially excited about bringing our co-creation capabilities to India.” -GC’s CEO, @htaneja

We believe access to cutting-edge semiconductors is essential for national resilience. @substrate is bringing advanced semiconductor manufacturing capacity back to America—a mission that led us to back its seed round. With its innovative design offering a faster, better, and less expensive alternative to Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, Substrate is on a path to shift the global competitive landscape.
We first partnered with @jamesproud and the Substrate team more than three years ago because of James’s deep hardware expertise, first-principles thinking, and unwavering resolve to address critical national security challenges. His vision to reimagine semiconductor manufacturing is exactly the bold, systems-level approach we think is needed to restore U.S. leadership.
We’re looking forward to supporting James and the team as they usher in a new era of American chipmaking.

What will it take for startups to not just survive, but thrive in the age of AI? In their latest piece for @HarvardBiz, GC’s CEO and Managing Director, @htaneja, and journalist and author, @FareedZakaria explore what they think are the key advantages that startups have—such as risk-seeking talent, adaptability, speed, and an innovation-driven mindset. They argue that software is no longer just a supporting tool for larger enterprises; it is now the core service itself. We believe this shift is underscored by our Creation strategy, as demonstrated with @crescendoCX and @hippocraticai.
“AI represents a far bigger opportunity than anything the tech sector has ever faced. But it requires Silicon Valley startups to shift their mindset, to no longer seek to disrupt and demolish established firms but to transform them.” –Hemant Taneja & Fareed Zakaria

"In reality, late-stage tech companies are really two sub-companies: 1) the 'CAC Machine' and 2) the 'Operating Company.'" -GC's @pranavsinghvi
Hear Pranav explain why this matters and why CEOs & CFOs alike should be thinking about this much more.
Our Customer Value strategy (CVF) demonstrates the power of a business reducing its cost of capital in a thoughtful, risk-aligned manner. On the latest @rebellionaire episode with @nerdalert and @bradsferguson, Pranav highlights how CVF can unlock long-term growth for companies, and more in a few key ways:
1. Approaching Sales & Marketing spend with rationality
"When [companies] spend a dollar on Sales & Marketing, they generate a fairly structured rate of return on that spend on that dollar…it is highly underwritable and structured in nature."
2. Modeling a business as two separate entities: the 'CAC Machine' and 'Operating Company'
"When you start to think about the world this way, something interesting happens. When you remove the CAC machine, or effectively the investment in Sales & Marketing and the ROI on Sales & Marketing from a company’s P&L you almost treat it as an asset that can be taken off the balance sheet, the company starts becoming very cash generative in nature.”
3. Rethinking the metrics that matter
“We think of these businesses not in the context of EBITDA, but actually EBITCAC. Meaning if you remove CAC from the earnings of these businesses, are they profitable in nature? Because CAC is a discretionary decision they are making to invest for a higher ROI."
4. Solving the asset-liability mismatch
"The CVF strategy provides a source of capital that is exactly aligned with the performance of the asset, which is the ROI on S&M."

At GC, seed is our most powerful lens into the future. It's how we see the world not as it is, but as it could be, through the eyes of founders bold enough to shape it.
We don’t just invest in companies. First and foremost, we invest in founders.
Why? Because the best founders may not always succeed, but we believe they will not fail.
When uncertainty rises and others retreat, we step forward. We thrive in ambiguity and navigate it alongside you, through every pivot and breakthrough.
If you're building in a space where the problems are complex and the impact can be category-defining, we'd love to be your first call.

Market differentiation comes from execution.
After building his startup and more than a decade seed investing, @yuris has seen how early choices (architecture, hires, culture) shape everything that follows. First-time tech founders need partners who can navigate ambiguity because they’ve been there before. That's our GC Seed platform.
