The venture capital giant General Catalyst has raised $8 billion in fresh capital, with $750 million set aside for health care investments as its acquisition of an Ohio safety net hospital undergoes regulatory review.

Fund XII consists of $4.5 billion for funds dedicated to seed and growth equity, $1.5 billion for creating new companies, and $2 billion of “separately managed accounts,” the firm said. It did not immediately clarify how the $750 million in health care funds would be distributed between investment and creation.

It also partners closely with a couple of dozen health systems and payers, who have earlier access to emerging technology in General Catalyst’s portfolio and make up what it calls a “health assurance ecosystem.”
