We are thrilled to share a few photographs and stories from this year’s invite-only Annual General Meeting – a special event where our LPs connect in person with our team, portfolio companies and experts.

It was a pleasure to host entrepreneurs, investors, researchers and special guests such as Maria Gotsch, Andy Parsons, Mark Kalow, Fernando De La Torre, Thomas Knox, Rebekah Griesenauer, Hani Eskandari, Omar Issa, Rebecca Paoletti, Robert Levitan, Serge Belongie, Emi Gal, Summer Bedard, Dave Zohrob, Dawn Barber, Jeremiah Robison and many more!

Our Annual General Meeting was a true highlight – full of thoughtful conversations, valuable insights and genuine connection. We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and contributed to making it a success!

We are honored to work with brilliant people every day!

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.

LDV Capital I & II are returned. We continue to have significant upside potential across each of our funds thanks to our brilliant entrepreneurs, experts, team and LP partners.

LPs say we are highly differentiated, disciplined, have high-quality sourcing and successfully create value by investing in category leaders at the earliest stages.

We are excited to be recruiting an Analyst to join our team to help us identify, analyze and evaluate investment opportunities. You will be a major contributor to all aspects of our fund from sourcing, market research, due diligence and supporting our portfolio companies.

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!

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.

"Every year the LDV Vision Summit assembles the foremost thinkers, builders, and business leaders in the visual field. It's always illuminating and inspiring." Erick Schonfeld, Executive Producer, DEMO & Co-Founder, TouchCast

LDV Capital invested in Matt, Adam, and their Clarifai vision in the summer of 2014, alongside Qualcomm Ventures, Google Ventures, Nvidia, and respected angels. Since then, they have added more impressive computer vision experts to their team, continued with fast iteration of their technology, and customers are already leveraging their services.
