LDV Community is Helping Each Other Succeed: April 2023 Happy Hour Photos
/Here at LDV Capital, we invest in people building businesses powered by visual technologies. We thrive on collaborating with deep tech teams leveraging computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to analyze visual data. We are the only venture capital firm with this thesis.
We host our annual LDV Vision Summit, LDV Community Dinners & Happy Hours to bring together the world’s brightest technology innovators, serial entrepreneurs, researchers and investors to discuss the latest trends in visual tech.
Earlier this year, we hosted our 9th Annual LDV Visual Summit. It was an incredibly successful virtual event with 28 speakers and over a thousand attendees from all around the world. While everyone likes the ease of tuning into an insightful talk from the comfort of their homes and offices, there is really no substitute for being in person. We were thrilled to see so many of you join us in our New York office to share stories, drinks and laughs.
