At this point, no capital has yet been raised for the new fund, and the capital target is subject to change.

The Washington, D.C.-based venture firm focuses “on early-stage venture capital investments in technology-enabled business that have the potential to disrupt major industries,” per its website. It previously raised $200 million in “Revolution Ventures II, LP” in 2013. If fully-raised, this latest fund would bring Revolution Venture’s total funds raised to $400 million.

AOL co-founder and Revolution CEO Case is an executive officer of the fund, along with William “Tige” Savage Jr.and David Golden.

In recent years, Revolution Ventures has seen a number of exits from its portfolio:

Launched in 2005, Revolution has three core business groups: Revolution Ventures, Revolution Growth, and Revolution Places.

Revolution Ventures has been outspoken about its belief that not all venture investments should be focused in Silicon Valley or New York. In a blog on the Washington, D.C.-based firm’s website, Case wrote: “The Revolution careers page lists jobs available in 105 cities across the country. Over 80% of the more than 1,000 jobs posted today are outside of Silicon Valley, New York, and Boston. And that makes sense.”
