La Famiglia

Today, we are excited to announce that La Famiglia is joining forces with our long-time friends at General Catalyst to turbocharge technological value creation in Europe and take our seed investment approach to the global stage. 
 
When setting out to start La Famiglia in 2015 and scaling the platform over the past years, unlocking the transformational potential of the European continent has been our North Star. We are now opening a new chapter of radical collaboration by uniting with General Catalyst to build Europe’s leading transformation platform to drive ambitious and enduring positive change.

For La Famiglia, the partnership adds financial and platform resources to invest into the most promising European founders, turbocharging our investment thesis of creating meaningful change and real value by connecting the old and the new. For GC, this partnership brings the opportunity to join forces with a truly European seed platform while allowing to further build out its creation offering in Europe through the incubation of ambitious companies alongside experienced industry experts from La Famiglia’s network. The La Famiglia brand will form the base for GC’s global seed program. Serving founders will remain our top priority, and we will be able to provide even greater support and expertise to our joint - existing and future - portfolio.

General Catalyst is an incredibly ambitious firm that enables entrepreneurs to drive powerful, positive change that endures. As deeply mission-driven organizations, General Catalyst and La Famiglia share a core belief system. This was a hugely important part of our decision to join forces, and we believe it will be a big contributing factor to our future success. We are particularly excited to work in close union with the amazing London-based team: Chris Bischoff, Zeynep Yavuz, Juliet Bailin, and Alexandre Momeni.

La Famiglia is built on the vision of a resilient, more prosperous Europe, with technology as a key driver of transformation. Joining forces with GC gives us a great sense of opportunity in this endeavor of enduring ambition. A big thank you to our trusted LPs and amazing founders who form such an important part of this journey.

Let’s go! 👨👩👧👦🗽
