From 8VC to Benchmark, here’s what’s hiding in October SEC filings
A whole crop of venture capital firms are raising significant new funds.
October was a busy month for venture funds, according to SEC filings. Established names are attracting large investments from limited partners, particularly those with a specific focus. Among the most noteworthy developments are Trust Ventures' filing to raise $400 million for Fund V, and Interlagos Capital's effort to raise $400 million for Fund II.
Additionally, former Benchmark VCs Victor Lazarte and Kris Fredrickson have raised $1.252 billion for their AI fund, Diffusion ONE, which has already made significant investments, such as co-leading Harvey's $550 million Series H and participating in Etched's $300 million Series C. Benchmark also filed four new partner-only funds, seeking to raise a total of $248.5 million.
Meanwhile, 8VC, led by Jack Altman, is pursuing several new funds, including $400 million Fund DSS III, $30.35 million COSC, $20.35 million BRSC, and AI Fund XI, which has already raised $13.5 million. Other notable fund raisers include Notable Capital, Greenoaks, Industry Ventures, and Jack Altman's return to Benchmark.
