Paula Wehmeyer
Investment Team


I am an investor in General Catalyst's European office in Berlin, Germany, where I focus on advancing GC’s Global Resilience thesis. My primary focus is on the modernization of critical sectors, including manufacturing, robotics, supply chain & procurement, and national security. I am deeply passionate about driving innovation into established industries globally, with a special emphasis on fortifying Europe.
Before joining GC, I worked at La Famiglia, an early-stage VC fund that backed companies like Deel, Personio, and Applied Intuition. Prior to becoming an investor, I was a strategy consultant with McKinsey & Company, where I worked with leading industrial and consumer companies on topics such as supply chain and IT strategy. This experience gave me a strong understanding of established industry buying centers and digital transformation agendas.
I studied at the German entrepreneurship hub WHU and at the London School of Economics (LSE). Outside of investing, I am actively involved in philanthropy, serving on the board of the Fritz and Thekla Funke Foundation, where we work on improving the lives and education of children in Europe. In my free time, I love Taylor Swift and am an ever-improving calligrapher.
