Our Annual General Meetings (AGM) are exclusive, invite-only events for LDV Capital LPs, portfolio companies, LDV experts and special guests. We are thrilled to share a glimpse of our most recent AGM in New York City, giving you a unique opportunity to see what usually happens behind closed doors.

Last year, we celebrated 10 years of investing in people building businesses powered by visual tech & AI, but it’s just the beginning! Visual technology innovations will continue to be the crux of automation for decades and beyond. Computer vision, machine learning and AI will be the key enablers for innovation in healthcare, precision medicine, manufacturing, construction, agriculture, sustainability, and many more industries.

We at LDV Capital have been investing in AI for over 10 years to date, and have made 7 investments in teams building businesses leveraging Generative AI since 2018. We believe that this technology has significant commercial value as a utility that will empower SaaS businesses to disrupt legacy enterprises.
