General Atlantic

This year we celebrate 45 years of General Atlantic. From our roots in Growth Equity to our expansion into Climate, Credit, and Sustainable Infrastructure, our global platform is built on a culture of excellence, collaboration, and a shared commitment to building value. We thank our colleagues and partners for being a part of our journey. Innovation drives our opportunity set, and the future is bright.

Investment Management, one of General Atlantic’s Core Power Alleys, is “riding strong tailwinds,” says General Atlantic Managing Director Caroline Woodworth. As private market AUM expands, investment strategies are becoming more complex, creating space for innovation and challenging traditional models. In our 2025 Power Alleys White Paper, we explore how investment managers are adapting, scaling smarter, and embracing change. https://lnkd.in/ezcqWV2f

"We saw a huge opportunity for growth—one that helps us build better businesses by driving operational efficiency within the larger portfolio. As a result of our climate efforts, we’ve almost created an additional value-creation lever that we’ve seen interest in not just from the BeyondNetZero portfolio, but from other General Atlantic companies." Rhea Hamilton, Managing Director at General Atlantic’s BeyondNetZero, joined GRESB’s The Pulse podcast to discuss how sustainability and resilience are core to partnering with growth companies seeking to scale their solutions.

Gabriel Caillaux, General Atlantic Co-President, Head of EMEA, and Global Head of Climate, recently spoke with L'AGEFI’s Virginie Deneuville about why we believe France represents one of Europe’s most important growth markets.

As part of London Climate Action Week, Lord John Browne, Chairman and Co-Founder of BeyondNetZero, joined the BBC Radio 4 Today Programme to discuss the evolving role of energy companies as energy demand soars, the imperative for electricity market reform, and where private capital can drive the most impact in accelerating the energy transition. Lord Browne underscored that while traditional oil and gas producers play a role in decarbonization - particularly through technologies like carbon capture - the primary drivers of clean energy investment are utility companies, infrastructure funds, and private investors. He also emphasized that systemic change begins with efficiency: better data, smarter analytics, and the deployment of AI are unlocking measurable gains in energy use and emissions reduction. Climate technologies that enable and optimize the decarbonization of the global economy need scale to support the acceleration of this transition. Through General Atlantic’s BeyondNetZero fund, a climate growth equity strategy, we believe targeted innovation and pragmatic investment are essential to deliver real-world climate impact by accelerating proven technologies through large scale deployment.

We were pleased to convene leading investors, entrepreneurs, and innovators to discuss where the next wave of capital deployment is heading - and how to be positioned at the forefront of this transition.
