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

The Dallas firm will write checks of up to $1 billion into at least 10 late-stage AI and defense companies.
