I got involved with Embrace Global at the end of last year after learning more about their mission, which is very close to my heart. Their work focuses on ensuring that every mother, no matter where she lives, has access to the life-saving warmth and care her baby needs. It is grounded in the belief that where a baby is born should not determine whether they survive. By helping keep fragile newborns warm and expanding access to essential neonatal care, Embrace is making a meaningful and measurable difference. What makes this partnership even more meaningful is the way General Atlantic has shown up alongside Embrace. An Embrace incubator is donated in honor of every GA colleague who welcomes a new baby, a tradition that has contributed to 27 incubators reaching families around the world over the past 9 months and helped support Embrace's expansion into Tanzania extending life-saving care to even more mothers and newborns. This Mother's Day feels especially meaningful, with mothers supporting mothers in a way that is both tangible and lifesaving. Grateful to be part of an organization, and a board, that believes every baby deserves the chance to thrive.

We are pleased to expand our strategic partnership with Qatar Investment Authority, deepening the relationship between our two institutions through a shared focus on long-term value creation, economic development, and global connectivity. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to investing across the region and global markets, while supporting talent development and sustainable growth aligned with Qatar’s long-term economic ambitions. As the Middle East strengthens its position as a global hub for entrepreneurship and investment, we remain committed to partnering with leading founders, businesses, and institutions helping shape the region’s next chapter. https://lnkd.in/eEPfsj53

Volatility is near 35-year highs, yet last year was the second-highest year for exits on record. For investors, this tension defines today’s operating environment. In a conversation with Dani Burger on Bloomberg Deals at the Milken Institute Global Conference, our Co-President and Head of Global Growth Equity Martín Escobari discussed what it takes to win in markets like these: the conviction to act while others wait for certainty. For example, being the only bidder in a complex sector, backing a company growing 40%+ when the market is avoiding the space, or building for AI transformation before the consensus arrives. This is a muscle our growth equity strategy has developed over 46 years across global markets and macro cycles – built to move with discipline when conditions are hardest to read. As Martín put it: In strong markets, it can be hard to distinguish skill from momentum. The real test is identifying where alpha will come from when the path forward is less clear. Alpha is what you generate before the crowd catches up. Watch the full interview: https://lnkd.in/ectpmGTH

The organizational pyramid that has defined business for a century is breaking down – because AI is removing the layers that once held it together. General Atlantic Managing Director Anish Batlaw explores how AI is fundamentally reshaping how companies are structured, replacing layers of management with small, mission-aligned teams that coordinate networks of AI agents toward discrete outcomes. In the most advanced cases, teams of just 2–5 people can coordinate 50–100 specialized agents. The result is a step-change in productivity, with companies like Nvidia generating ~$5M in revenue per employee, and AI-native firms far beyond that. For CEOs, the question isn't how to restructure. It's how to redesign, from deleting legacy processes to making institutional knowledge machine-readable and raising the talent bar across the organization.
