The firm plans to allocate $4.5 billion to its core funds, $1.5 billion to create new startups, and $2 billion for investments in other businesses. Hemant Taneja, a representative of General Catalyst, emphasized that the traditional venture capital model does not adequately support founders in transforming industries.
