We could not have accomplished this exciting milestone without our inspiring portfolio founders, experts, community members, co-investors and LDV LPs. Thank you!
Meet Jeremiah Robison, Founder and CEO of CIONIC – one of LDV Capital’s portfolio companies. He has a 25-year career spent at the intersection of computing and the human body. At CIONIC, he builds robotic suits to help people move. For Jeremiah, it’s a truly personal story: his daughter’s CP diagnosis fueled a mission to empower all those with mobility impairments to move with more freedom and control.
At our 7th annual LDV Vision Summit, we had the pleasure to host a fireside chat between Rick Heitzmann, Founder & Partner at FirstMark Capital, and Evan Nisselson, LDV Capital’s Founder and General Partner. They discussed early-stage investing, megatrends, proactive healthcare, actionable data, and the future of AI-powered decision-making.
Abby Hunter-Syed, Partner at LDV Capital, interviewed Madeleine Gong of Wearable X. They spoke about the intersection of wearable technology and fashion. They briefly touched on mushroom leather and the introduction of skincare into textiles – join us virtually on December 8 to learn more.
We are excited to announce the close of our third fund for investing in early-stage businesses powered by visual technologies.
Meet Dr. Mackenzie Mathis – a new guest in our monthly Women Leading Visual Tech series. She is a neuroscientist, a tenure-track professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, working within the Brain Mind Institute and Center for Neuroprosthetics. Dr. Mathis founded the Adaptive Motor Control Lab to investigate the neural basis of adaptive motor behaviors in mice to inform future translational research in neurological diseases.
LDV Capital’s Abigail Hunter-Syed spoke with Dr. Mackenzie Mathis about her work to beat neurodegenerative diseases like Lou Gehrig’s, the awesome computer vision tool she developed DeepLabCut, and so much more!
CIONIC builds robotic suits or so called neural sleeves to help people move. This bionic clothing leverages visual tech, sensors, soft robotics, and machine learning to improve lives by helping those living with physical disabilities. Tune in to re/watch Jeremiah Robison’s keynote at our 6th annual LDV Vision Summit.
At LDV Vision Summit, we highlight experts working on cutting edge technologies and trends across every sector of business and society. We do not repeat speakers and we are honored that many attendees join every year.
