We host our LDV Community Dinners & Happy Hours to bring together our tight-knit LDV community – the world’s brightest technology innovators, serial entrepreneurs, deep tech researchers and investors – to discuss cutting-edge visual tech. Check out a few photographs from our fourth and final 2022 “Happy Hour” event hosted in New York City.
Our portfolio company Voyant Photonics raised $15.4M in Series A funding to bring developer kits with the world's first silicon-photonics chip-scale FMCW LiDAR system to their customers. Their tiny sensors can analyze any environment, in any lighting from bright sunlight to pitch darkness with millimeter precision, are immune to interference, that sense position, motion, and even the materials objects are made of and are affordable for any application.
LiDAR technology is a key solution but adoption of LiDAR has been limited by cost and size until our LDV portfolio company Voyant Photonics. At LDV Capital, we are thrilled to partner with the Voyant team toward their vision of enabling computers to see in 3D.
Our sixth annual LDV Vision Summit was fantastic, a giant thank you to everyone who came and participated in making it another spectacular gathering. We are honored that you fly in from around the world each year to share insights, inspire, do deals, recruit, raise capital, and help each other succeed!
