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 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.

Last year, we celebrated 10 years of investing in people building businesses powered by visual tech & AI, but it’s just the beginning! Visual technology innovations will continue to be the crux of automation for decades and beyond. Computer vision, machine learning and AI will be the key enablers for innovation in healthcare, precision medicine, manufacturing, construction, agriculture, sustainability, and many more industries.

At our 9th Annual LDV Vision Summit, we welcomed top technologists, investors, and entrepreneurs to discuss cutting-edge computer vision, machine learning and AI solutions to improve the world we live in.

We at LDV Capital have been investing in AI for over 10 years to date, and have made 7 investments in teams building businesses leveraging Generative AI since 2018. We believe that this technology has significant commercial value as a utility that will empower SaaS businesses to disrupt legacy enterprises. Check out this article to learn more and see some examples of exponentially growing commercial applications in content creation, biotech and more.

At our 7th annual LDV Vision Summit, we had the pleasure to host a fireside chat between Abhijay Prakash, President of Universal Filmed Entertainment Group, and Evan Nisselson, LDV Capital’s Founder and General Partner. They discussed entertainment, Hollywood, and new technologies.

We are excited to announce the close of our third fund for investing in early-stage businesses powered by visual technologies.

LDV Capital’s portfolio company Uizard built a web-based design tool for non-designers that lets anyone quickly and easily design and prototype digital products such as web and mobile apps. The company leverages visual technologies – computer vision and deep learning – to make their AI-design assistant a reality. For example, their technology can instantly convert hand-drawn wireframes into interactive designs. We had a chance to chat with Tony Beltramelli, Uizard’s Co-Founder and CEO, and ask him a couple of burning questions.
