General Catalyst's $8B raise embodies the “capital agglomerator” approach, leveraging vast resources across sectors, while Chemistry Fund's $350M strategy embraces boutique investing, emphasizing close founder partnerships. This juxtaposition highlights the importance for founders to align with a fund's philosophy — whether they need broad support from larger firms or focused commitment from a specialized partner.
