Lightspeed Venture Partners has raised a record $9 billion in fresh capital, marking the largest fundraise in the firm's history. This capital is spread across six funds, including a $3.3 billion opportunity fund for follow-on investments. The firm, known for its AI-focused investments, plans to continue investing in capital-intensive AI companies. This fundraising comes at a time when many younger VC firms are struggling to attract funds, and follows similar large capital raises by other major VC firms like Founders Fund, General Catalyst, and Andreessen Horowitz.
