News! We just launched “The General Podcast” 🎙️
It’s a ‘hostless' show that pairs tech and business leaders together for honest, behind-the-scenes conversations about building:
🎙️ Ep 1: Katie Dill (@lil_dill) x Randy Hunt (@randyjhunt)
🎙️ Ep 2: A healthcare journalist x a Pulitzer Prize-winning author
🎙️ Ep 3: Two rising media founders
🎙️ Ep 4: Two legendary COOs
And many more. So why are we doing this?
The best conversations don’t happen in interviews. They happen between peers—people solving similar problems, or shaped by shared experience across an entire career.
We built a show around that. Listen 👇

Enterprise AI needs real-world data, but not at the expense of privacy.
The challenge is keeping data useful for training without exposing personal information.

AI companies are paying millions for company data.
Keep the training signal buyers want while protecting your company and your customers.
Retain signal. Stay protected. Get paid.

Buying and deploying proprietary data is critical for the next frontier.
But when it comes to buying real data from real people, trust is the first step in making sure the largest supply of real-world data can move into training as efficiently as possible.
@integralprivacy ensures that your data will be monetized the right way.

AI has a distribution problem.
Massive data center investment creates intelligence, but without the systems to deliver it, the people who need it won't benefit.
@phineasb joined @akashpasricha on @theinformation's TITV to explain what distributed compute could look like:

The momentum at Q-Labs continues - they are going deep on scaling -- and finding that this new axis of computational depth is a massive opportunity. Great work @industriaalist and @akshayvegesna (cc @thegp)
We think computational depth is the missing scaling axis, i.e. we should be doing a lot more deep learning!
Every other axis has been scaled by OOMs over the past few years (params, data, sparsity, test-time reasoning), but depth has been stuck at ~100 layers since GPT-3.
We've found that LLMs are both *severely* depth-bottlenecked and bad at using the depth they have, and that architectural interventions that lift this bottleneck efficiently lead to gains that increase with compute.

"Healthcare serves whoever controls the dollar. For eighty years, that has been the employer. We think it should be the consumer."
A very important read: The Health Consumer manifesto from @thatch_ai by @chrisellisdc
Last week, we raised $108M to build a healthcare system people love.
Today, we’re sharing why.
We believe people should have more choice in how their healthcare dollars are spent. We call this awakening the Health Consumer.

Awesome to see founders we partnered with @thegp having impact on AI safety and cybersecurity / fraud. Nice work @soupsranjan and the whole team at @sardine
Was a lot of fun doing this show with This Week in AI.
Thank you @lons @alex @ArmadinSecurity @Jason for the fun discussion

How should you grow your engineering team strategically?
"When a company makes a serious bet on something new, the reflex is to give it a dedicated team, because that’s how you signal it matters. But for startups, the new bet is the thing most likely to change shape or die. Four people can usually be redirected pretty easily. Once they’ve become a named team with a lead, OKRs, and six months of identity behind them, changing direction gets much harder."
Our CTO @dpup on budding vs. splitting when you're growing engineering.

TheGP’s talent team has grown orgs from the ground up at places like @stripe, @RobinhoodApp, @Google and @mozilla.
We distilled decades of experience into a practical guide for founders building an early-stage compensation philosophy.

Healthcare costs keep rising and employees want access to treatments like GLP-1s, which is exactly why Thatch is experiencing 7x YoY growth: the shift to consumer-directed health has reached its inflection point.
The five-year-old startup raised $108 million from The General Partnership, Index Ventures, General Catalyst, and Andreessen Horowitz.

Our portfolio company, @thatch_ai, is today announcing its $108M Series C at a $1B valuation.
The most impactful technology companies solve matching problems—riders with drivers, travelers with places to stay, listeners with music, vendors with payment sources.
Healthcare is also a matching problem. It may be the largest, most personal and most consequential one in the U.S.

We’re proud to continue building alongside this incredible team and to lead this round. Let's go @thatch_ai 🦄
Today, we're announcing @thatch_ai raised a $108M Series C at a $1B valuation from @thegp, @IndexVentures, @generalcatalyst, @a16z.
The idea we're betting on: healthcare serves whoever controls the dollar. For 80 years that's been the employer. We think it should be you.
Employers typically choose one health plan for everyone. We think there's a better model: give people a health budget and let them choose the insurance and care that fits their life. That is the idea behind Thatch.
ARR has grown nearly 7x in the last twelve months, and more than 5,000 employers now use Thatch. None of this happens without our team, or without the employers who believe that their people know what their families need better than they ever could.
We're building a healthcare system people love by changing how we fund it.

Today, our portfolio company @thatch_ai announced its $108M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by TheGP.
Thatch is building a modern health benefits platform around CHOICE (fka ICHRA). Employers set a budget while employees choose the health coverage that works best for them.
The ambition is of course much larger than benefits administration.

Thatch is building a healthcare system around the individual - matching people with the right coverage, keeping personal care decisions private and making that coverage easier to carry from job to job.
We met Thatch's team at a mission-critical moment. Ahead of open enrollment, TheGP embedded senior engineers alongside the team for six months, building critical integrations, automations and customer support AI. We later expanded the work across product design and talent.
What began as a hands-on engagement has grown into a close partnership with @chrisellisdc, Adam and the entire Thatch team. We’re proud to continue building alongside them and to lead this round.
