General Catalyst CEO Hemant Taneja pointed to AI companies as proof that scale is arriving faster than ever. He noted that while Stripe took over a decade to reach a $100 billion valuation, Anthropic surged from roughly $60 billion to several hundred billion dollars in just a year.

Taneja believes this momentum could soon produce multiple trillion-dollar AI firms, including OpenAI. In his view, these valuations aren’t speculative hype but a reflection of how deeply AI is embedding itself into every layer of business and society.
