Download our Q3 2024 Market Summary to find out what’s happening in the current VC recalibration: • Fewer VC firms are raising fewer funds – but of those continuing to raise, fund size is increasing.  • The most critical indicator for the state of the VC market is the rate of return to LPs. The lack of returns to LPs slows the capital flywheel. • VCs and their LPs have higher expectations: more focus on quality over quantity, meaning more scrutiny on risk, so investors are prioritizing more mature companies. For founders, this can be narrowed down to one thing: you need to build a better business than you thought was possible.

General Catalyst is working on a new $1 billion continuation fund #GeneralCatalyst, one of Silicon Valley's largest #VC firms, is reportedly working on launching a continuation fund worth between $800 million and $1 billion. This fund aims to provide liquidity options to their existing limited partners while allowing the firm to continue supporting its portfolio companies like Stripe, Gusto, and Circle. Founded in 2000 by Joel Cutler, David Fialkow, and John Simon, General Catalyst has been a significant player in backing transformative startups across various sectors. With $25 billion in assets under management as of 2023, the firm continues to adapt to market dynamics. The continuation fund strategy reflects a broader industry trend, especially amid a slowdown in IPOs and M&A activities. By offering this fund, General Catalyst provides its investors the choice to cash out or remain invested, retaining future upside potential. They've enlisted Jefferies as their secondary investment advisor to facilitate this process. The article on TechCrunch in the first comment.
