Harry Elliott
Investment Team


I am a British native and former Stanford intercollegiate debater. I believe in the beginner’s mentality: starting from first principles and basic questions to achieve decisive clarity on problems that are new or have few historical precedents.
After Stanford, I put this mentality to work at Goldman Sachs, where I developed new and customized financing solutions for emerging asset classes and younger companies that traditionally wouldn't seek out bank debt. I then moved to Verkada, a growth-stage security business that had reached product-market fit and was ready to scale. As Director of Demand Generation, I drove Verkada’s growth across regions and sales channels through a combination of quantitative analysis and creative experimentation.
At General Catalyst, I bring my blend of financial analysis and operating company experience to help growth-stage companies scale quickly and tackle demand generation challenges. Away from the office, I enjoy hiking in Northern California with my wife and two dogs and working on weekend DIY projects.
