8VC DSS III, L.P., a venture capital fund, filed a Form D with the SEC on Oct. 22 reporting a $400 million offering with $0 sold to date.

The $400 million is the amount the fund registered to offer, not the amount it has raised. Joseph Lonsdale is listed as a related person.

For allocators, the filing is a starting point for the questions that decide a commitment: fees, minimum investment, strategy and first-sale date.

The Austin firm sought $225 million for Fund IV in 2023, and October filings also show four Benchmark partner funds and a $1.252 billion AI debut.

Among 23 pooled-fund Form D filings from Oct. 23–26 were nine private equity and eight venture capital funds.

The four Oct. 26 Form Ds show $75,000 to $734,000 per series; iCapital and 8VC vehicles disclosed no sales.

The Egypt-based vehicle invests from seed through Series C in tickets of $500,000 to $10 million and has backed 15 companies.

The Oct. 27 Form D lists an indefinite total offering amount and a first sale dated Oct. 9.
