Christopher Kauffman
Investment Team


I’m a Principal at General Catalyst, a venture capital firm that partners with founders from seed through growth stages and beyond to build companies that withstand the test of time. At GC, I focus on investments in later-stage enterprise companies. I’m based in San Francisco.
Before joining GC, I was the Vice President of Finance at Ruggable LLC, where I focused on e-commerce. Prior to that, I was a Vice President in the Frontier Technologies sector at SoftBank Investment Advisers (SoftBank Vision Fund) and an Associate at Golden Gate Capital.
I received my BSc in Business, with a focus on finance and psychology, from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. Outside of the office, I can be found outdoors—either cycling or mountaineering—and in the local music scene. As a former drummer and bassist, I also actively support local musicians in advancing their careers.
