Evan Nisselson first met Roelof Botha, Managing Partner and Steward of Sequoia Capital, while fundraising for his startup in 2005. Roelof said, “ I think back to that meeting we had, and you had a vision for the future and the impact of visual, just imagery on consumer experiences was completely spot on.”
At our 10th Annual LDV Vision Summit, Roelof joined Evan for a fireside chat to discuss trends and early-stage investment opportunities in businesses leveraging visual technologies and AI. They spoke about Roelof’s insights from the ups and downs of the PayPal days, marshmallow tests, personality traits and much more!
Curious about where the next visual technology investment opportunities are? Meet Lux Capital’s Deena Shakir, M12’s Samir Kumar, DCVC’s Kelly Chen, and Bloomberg’s Sarah McBride and see them discuss how Gen Z doesn’t see the camera as an app; they see it as a platform; how the next world war will not be fought by people, but by AI; and so much more!
