Benchmark files four Form Ds totaling $364M for Founders' Fund vehicles

The Oct. 9 filings list no capital sold to date across the four venture vehicles.

Benchmark filed four Form Ds with the SEC on Oct. 9 covering venture capital vehicles with $364.0 million in combined offering capacity, and none reported capital sold to date.

VehicleOfferingSold to date
Benchmark Partners Founders' Fund T1, L.P.$220.0M$0
Benchmark Partners Founders' Fund 2, L.P.$132.0M$0
Benchmark Partners Founders' Fund T1-A, L.P.$7.5M$0
Benchmark Partners Founders' Fund 2-A, L.P.$4.5M$0
Total$364.0M$0

All four filings name the same related persons: Jack Altman, Peter Fenton, An-Yen Hu and Chetan Puttagunta. A Form D reports capital sold as of the filing date, so the $0 entries can reflect registrations filed ahead of first sales rather than a failed raise.
