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!
Our 7th annual LDV Vision Summit was a great success! We are so grateful, in these times, to be able to connect with all of you investors, entrepreneurs, technologists, executives, writers, and more who are as passionate about visual tech as we are. Thank you for coming together with us to examine the incredible opportunities for computer vision, machine learning, and AI to improve business and society.
At last year’s LDV Vision Summit, Jessi Hempel (Senior Editor at LinkedIn) spoke with Hadley Harris (Founding General Partner at Eniac Ventures), Laura Smoliar (Founding Partner at Berkeley Catalyst Fund), and Zavain Dar (Partner at Lux Capital) about trends in visual technologies across all business sectors and society.
The main question for our panelists was: “Where are the next visual technology investment opportunities?”
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!
Evan Nisselson, General Partner at LDV Capital, interviewed Zavain Dar, Partner at Lux Capital, about his experience investing in visual tech. Zavain invests in companies that are using machine learning and AI to augment or replace physical-world functions including biology, language, manufacturing, and analysis. He looks for entrepreneurs that can use software and data to hone a philosophical position on where the world is, and how to direct it for the better.
We are proud to share the news that our portfolio company Clarifai has raised a $30M Series B financing led by Matt Murphy at Menlo Partners.
