The web3 VC firm is aiming to raise $300 million for a fund, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Dubbed the Electric Capital Venture Fund III, the fund will offer pooled investment fund interests as a type of security.

The first sale for the fund has yet to occur, and Electric does not intend for the offering to last more than a year.
