LDV Capital Raised Fourth Fund To Continue Investing in People Building Businesses Powered by Visual Technologies and Artificial Intelligence
We are pleased to announce that we have raised our fourth LDV Capital fund with $31M.
We will continue investing in the same unique thesis that has not changed since founding LDV Capital in 2012. The majority of data our brains analyze is visual so the majority of data that AI will analyze will be visual as well. Visual data and visual technologies are critical for the success of artificial intelligence horizontally across all sectors.
Friends and strangers said our LDV Capital thesis-driven venture fund was cute, niche and science fiction. However, visual technologies are now a dinner table conversation from generative AI, to autonomous vehicles, medical imaging and much more. For example, we have been investing in businesses powered by generative AI since 2018 before this term existed.
We invest in deep tech teams at the earliest stages of businesses (pre-inc, pre-product, pre-revenue) working across all sectors including agriculture, healthcare, logistics and manufacturing, entertainment, mobility, neuroscience, construction, optics, life sciences and biotech, advertising, fertility, video, mapping, security and much more. We partner very early with founders: Synthesia, Clarifai, Uizard, CIONIC, Glass Imaging, Genia, Gryps, etc.
We are excited to announce the promotion of Ash Cleary from analyst to associate.
We are looking for 1-2 analysts to join our team.
LPs say we are highly differentiated, disciplined, have high-quality sourcing and successfully create value by investing in category leaders in each fund.
Some of our attributes:
- The Only Visual Technology & AI Venture Fund
- Deep Tech Domain Expertise
- Extensive Expert Network
- Platform Delivers Early Access & Network Effects: Vision Summit, Entrepreneur Dinners, Happy Hours, Women Leading Visual Tech, Insights, and Proprietary Tools
It is never too early to reach out via mutual connections or here if you are building a business that leverages visual technologies and artificial intelligence.
We are thrilled for many more decades partnering with brilliant people, solving huge problems, hopefully improving the world and making all of us a lot of money while we sleep!
Thank you to all of our investors, experts, portfolio companies and our fantastic LDV community!
