Our 12th Annual LDV Vision Summit brought together deep tech entrepreneurs, technologists, academics, researchers and investors for engaging discussions on innovations in cutting-edge visual tech and AI. We continue to be excited by the accelerating convergence of visual tech and AI across both the digital and physical worlds.

We were thrilled to welcome speakers from Insight Partners, Mayo Clinic, Harvard Medical School, Bek Ventures, 01 Advisors, University of Oxford, The Pioneer Centre for Artificial Intelligence, and LocalGlobe among others.

A special thank you goes to our speakers and attendees!

Since founding in 2012, LDV Capital is a thesis-driven early-stage venture fund investing in people building businesses powered by visual technology and artificial intelligence. Our thesis = a majority of the data our brains analyze is visual. Therefore, the majority of the data artificial intelligence will analyze will also be visual across the light and electromagnetic spectrum.

People used to say that our thesis was cute, niche and science fiction. Now it is validated.

We invest horizontally across all sectors such as: agriculture, healthcare, nanotechnology, logistics, manufacturing, entertainment, mobility, construction, optics, sensors, life sciences and biotech, robotics, materials science, video, mapping, security and much more.

LDV Capital IV: We are investing out of our 4th fund which was announced in 2024.

Our Annual General Meetings are invite-only exclusive gatherings that bring together our investors, experts, special guests and portfolio companies. For the first time, we have made the decision to share a few photographs from our most recent Annual General Meeting hosted in New York City to give you a glimpse into what it is like to be a part of our LDV Capital Inner Circle.

We could not have accomplished this exciting milestone without our inspiring portfolio founders, experts, community members, co-investors and LDV LPs. Thank you!

The smartphone has democratized photography. Improved camera quality is a feature that sells new smartphones. Ever since the inception of LDV Capital in 2012, Evan Nisselson was thrilled with the possibility to partner with people who would bring DSLR quality to small devices.

Earlier this year, we led the seed funding of Glass Imaging – a company on a mission to enable unrivaled professional image quality in smartphones. The team redesigns the optics that work with proprietary AI algorithms to correct the distortions & convert the sensor output to a standard image. You can now see the fantastic quality of pictures taken with the Glass Imaging prototype – it’s happening and soon this technology will fit into pocket-size devices!

Our 8th annual LDV Vision Summit was the best summit to date! Thanks to the virtual setting, our community tuned in from all over the world and we discussed computer vision, computational imaging, machine learning and AI in healthcare, web3, climate, space, and so much more.

In these turbulent times, we are pleased to have a chance to connect with brilliant entrepreneurs, technologists, investors, executives, and creatives who are as passionate about visual tech as we are at LDV.

Smartphone camera tech had stalled in its abilities to emulate full-frame cameras. Now it’s time for you to meet Glass Imaging! We're excited to partner with founders Ziv Attar and Dr. Tom Bishop as well as their team as they improve smartphone camera capabilities through a mixture of unique optics, computational photography, and AI.
