It previously sought to raise a $225 million Fund IV in 2023, though it’s unclear if or when that fund closed.

Deep tech fund Interlagos Capital is also raising a $400 million Fund II.

Elsewhere, Victor Lazarte and Kris Fredrickson, two former Benchmark VCs, have raised $1.252 billion for their debut AI fund called Diffusion ONE.

Speaking of Benchmark, the firm filed what looks like four new partner-only funds, called Benchmark Partners Founders’ Fund T1, Benchmark Partners Founders’ Fund 2, Benchmark Partners Founders’ Fund 2-A, and Benchmark Partners Founders’ Fund T1-A, seeking to raise $220 million, $132 million, $4.5 million, and $7.5 million, respectively.

Meanwhile, Joe Lonsdale’s 8VC also seems to be seeking to raise new vehicles — including a $400 million fund called 8VC DSS III; a $30.35 million fund called 8VC COSC; a $20.35 million 8VC BRSC fund; and a fund called 8VC AI Fund XI, which has already raised $13.5 million, including from 8VC itself.
