Mark of General Catalyst: Dwelly & the AI Rollup Thesis

Mark of General Catalyst explains the firm's creation strategy and its backing of Dwelly, positioned as Europe's premier AI-powered rollup after US bets like Long Lake in HOA management. He sizes the opportunity — services at $16 trillion versus roughly $1 trillion for software — says LLMs and agentic workforces can already automate about a third of tasks, and argues AI rollups can roughly double free cash flow by growing revenue rather than PE-style cost cutting, with implementation the story of 2026–27. He lists ripe categories (property management, accounting, insurance, MSPs, fund administration), says founders increasingly need M&A and capital-allocation skills, and recounts co-founding a crypto OTC brokerage in 2017 with Greg Tusar that Coinbase acquired, which led him into angel investing and AI.
