@ro is a category-defining company. Ro proves that consumers want to be proactive about their health.

GLP-1s are the largest trend outside of AI, and Ro is the company partnering with pharma to bring them to people at scale. Our venture and Customer Value Fund teams have worked closely with Zach and the team to help Ro grow, because Zach’s vision for Ro is foundational to our vision for health assurance.

Congrats on $3B ARR @ZReitano

Last week we brought the whole global 480 person @generalcatalyst team together in Park City for our annual retreat.

We spent the week talking about our North Star: AI for abundance and agency (Abundance = things that are scarce and expensive become plentiful and affordable for everyone; Agency = anyone can build and compete, instead of a handful of companies deciding the future)

We also happened to be together during the midterms. It was a reminder that capitalism is a privilege. It works only as long as people believe it's working for them too. I felt the midterms showed that people are anxious about costs, about their jobs, and about what AI will mean for their kids. Being together this week reinforced GC's commitment to being a nonpartisan force for taking founders to scale & abundance.

Grateful for this team. Lots to do.

Mercor is working with everyone trying to develop their own AI models. Their data and evals are core to making progress at the frontier, and core to enterprise sovereignty. It’s v cool to watch the platform they’ve become since we led their seed in 2023.

We raised our $750 million Series D at a $20 billion valuation from @benchmark, @generalcatalyst, @nvidia, @salesforce, and @zoom.

@mercor scaled from $1M to $3B in run-rate revenue in 27 months, the fastest in history to $3B.

For 2 years, we've organized human intelligence to build evals and training data for every frontier lab.

The labs are the leading indicator for AI startups, then the Fortune 500.

Our growth has accelerated over the past 6 months as enterprises start evaluating and training their own models. For many, owning their intelligence is existential.

Rebuilding America’s industrial capacity takes alignment. Today @ReBuildMFG announced $2.1B in funding, co-led by @generalcatalyst and @jpmorgan's Security and Resiliency Initiative. When financial institutions, technologists and builders align around resilience, capital gets deployed, talent follows, and the work gets done.

American systems need to be sovereign and durable, and so do their physical foundations. If the US wants to hold its defense posture, lead in robotics, and turn its intelligence lead into hardware, it needs manufacturing infrastructure of its own.

Much of our work at GC is about revitalizing the industries and institutions this country runs on. It’s why we’re transforming Summa, a century-old health system in Akron, OH. Re:Build is doing the same for the manufacturers that defined American towns for generations, and for those towns with them.

We first invested in 2024. Proud to deepen our partnership with Miles Arnone, @jeffawilke, Will Barker and the whole Re:Build team

The names that built American manufacturing are iconic. Slater, who brought the mill. Lowell, who integrated it. Carnegie, who scaled steel. Ford, who set the line in motion. Deming, who taught the world quality.

The forces of production that once built America are rebuilding America again. This is one of the most important economic and national security imperatives of our time.

General Catalyst has backed @ReBuildMFG since 2024, and today we are co-leading their $2.1B round alongside JPMorganChase’s Security and Resiliency Initiative.

@ariannahuff and @DanielaAmodei make the case that recursive self-improvement is the most human process there is. The beautiful opportunity is both coming together, and the creativity humans and AI can unleash when they’re making each other better.

Right now, 75% of Americans are anxious and afraid about AI. People are even bringing their concerns into their therapy sessions, sorting through everything from how AI impacts their jobs to more existential fears about humanity’s future. These concerns are real. But they’re only part of the story. To go deeper, I sat down with @DanielaAmodei. As president of @AnthropicAI, she is a unique figure in AI.
