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!

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.

Earlier in May, we shared photographs and stories from this year’s invite-only LDV Capital Annual General Meeting (AGM) – a special event where our LPs connect in person with our team, portfolio companies and experts. Our Associate, Ash Cleary, presented a keynote to our LPs on visual technologies that will unlock beyond what we can see as humans. We’re now excited to share a few of the trends Ash showcased in his presentation with our wider LDV community.

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

We continue investing out of our LDV Capital IV fund.

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 (AGM) are exclusive, invite-only events for LDV Capital LPs, portfolio companies, LDV experts and special guests. We are thrilled to share a glimpse of our most recent AGM in New York City, giving you a unique opportunity to see what usually happens behind closed doors.

We chatted with Dr. Elaine Wan about noninvasive 3D and 4D imaging of the heart, how AI can help us make sense of all the data that our wearables collect, the impact of COVID-19 on hearts and so much more!
