Matt Byington
Investment Team


I am an investor on the Global Resilience team, working closely with Paul Kwan.
Since joining in late 2023, I’ve expanded the depth and breadth of our work in defense and intelligence. My operational insights and understanding of the DoD have helped differentiate our investing efforts, and I will continue to focus on defense and intelligence, as well as industrial tech.
Before joining General Catalyst, I was part of the Naval Special Warfare Tactical Development Squadron, where I served as a Lt. Commander, leading a multi-disciplinary 20-person team focused on evaluating and adopting emerging technology for special operations. I also served as the second-in-command at the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Tactical Development Squadron.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in systems engineering from the United States Naval Academy and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
