I think a lot about feedback - those I received as a founder & ones I give/take as a VC. As most passionate folks would, I tended to couple my views on the person with the point being made, often acting on noise or worse, ignoring right signals. Hence, the feedback framework..

AI interfaces haven't evolved since GPT-3. You ask a question, get an answer, then copy-paste it into Slack, Gmail, or your docs.
There's a fundamental gap between intelligence and action.
Introducing Dimension. Your proactive AI co-worker that actually gets work done for you.

I’m excited to announce that we are leading a $218M seed investment in PB Health. @generalcatalyst has always believed in India’s ability to leapfrog legacy systems through innovation. Nowhere is that more necessary or more possible than in healthcare.
India has made real gains in healthcare quality, but for over 400 million middle-class Indians, timely and affordable care remains out of reach (Source: NITI Aayog). This isn’t just a gap; it’s a structural failure that demands a new approach: health assurance that is proactive, accessible, and affordable.
@YashishDahiya is shaping that future. After transforming digital health insurance with PB Fintech, he’s now building a next-generation care platform, starting with a network of high-quality secondary hospitals paired with purpose-built insurance products designed for how people actually experience care. With a team of experienced clinicians and healthcare operators alongside him, Yashish is laying the foundation for a truly inclusive health system, designed for trust, transparency, and long-term resilience.
At General Catalyst, we focus on backing bold, mission-driven founders from the earliest stages. Seed is where systemic change starts, and we’re especially proud to partner with Yashish from day one.
India’s healthcare system is ready for its next chapter. The PB Health team is just getting started catalyzing India’s health assurance future.

Deeply personal problem for me as it is for many. Indian elders need a full stack solution solving for great quality of life, sense of community - removing fear of health, while preserving their agency! Can’t wait to see this grow with @AdarshNarahari @nikhilkamathcio

Beyond excited for our next chapter in India alongside the terrific @venturehighway team! Very much looking forward to learning from @neerajarora, @TheMadrasVC and our new teammates on the ground and in 🇮🇳!
Today GC welcomes @venturehighway to the GC family! Led by @neerajarora (former WhatsApp CBO) and @TheMadrasVC (former entrepreneur), VH is a leading early-stage VC firm based in Bangalore, India. Thanks to fantastic work on the ground by partners Alex Tran and @deepnishar, GC has been investing in India since 2019, backing marquee companies like @CRED_club, @myspinny, @OrangeHealth_, and @loophealthHQ. VH takes our capabilities and commitment to a new level.
There has never been a more exciting time for us to double down on India. With VH, we believe the opportunity to harness world-class talent, innovate solutions to global challenges, and drive transformation and resilience in critical industries—healthcare, energy, manufacturing, financial services—is unparalleled.
Coming on the heels of @lafamigliaVC, this merger strengthens GC’s global seed capability, and positions us to play an impactful role in fueling Indo-US-Europe collaboration. It also reinforces our commitment to early-stage founders, which remains our core.
“Combining our US seed team with Venture Highway in India and La Famiglia in Europe, we are committing deeply to becoming great at supporting the world's best founders at the earliest stages…The combined capabilities of the two firms will allow us to be much more hands-on and effective going forward in India. I am especially excited about bringing our co-creation capabilities to India.” -GC’s CEO, @htaneja
