Investment approach
- Investing status notes
- Capital strategy pages actively solicit founders ("seed - We're looking for founders to dream with... Seed is the beating heart of GC"; "grow - Growth requires more than an equity check..."), and the home page cites current 2025 activity (Anthropic follow-on investment, Helsing's $1.8B Series E, stats "as of 9.30.25").
