LDV Blog
Since 2012, we have been showcasing brilliant women whose work in visual tech and AI is reshaping business and society. In 2020, we started our “Women Leading Visual Tech” series. We are thrilled to showcase an expanded list of women behind many of the technological innovations that we experience today. Their contributions are extremely valuable to our ecosystem and the world. Our initial list consists of 121 names placed in alphabetical order. It features experts in machine vision, pattern recognition and generative models for digitizing the real world, as well as leaders in quantum hardware, nanophotonics and semiconductors which is the foundation for all the visual tech and AI progress.
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.
