A Key Seed Investor Leaves General Catalyst

[etfs]

After years of leading seed-stage investing at General Catalyst, Niko Bonatsos has officially departed the firm. Bonatsos, who backed notable startups like Discord and Mercor, confirmed that he plans to launch a new early-stage venture capital firm alongside a group of trusted partners.

Unlike several recent exits from General Catalyst, Bonatsos described his departure as a mutual and positive decision. He emphasized that his time at the firm was an “awesome experience” filled with valuable learnings, signaling an amicable transition rather than a dramatic split.
