General Catalyst posted VC rage bait and it worked, especially on a16z

One of the most entertaining moments in VC this week was a piece of rage-bait marketing from General Catalyst. In a now-viral post on X that parodies the old Mac vs. PC commercials, the venture firm — better known as GC — posted a “VC vs GC” video on Wednesday. The VC was played by a tall actor in a baggy shirt and vest with a distinctly large, bald head — an apparent dig at Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Marc Andreessen. (But the real Andreessen never looks that disheveled). Meet GC pic.twitter.com/q4HxQjFkUZ— General Catalyst (@generalcatalyst) May 13, 2026
