Our Annual General Meeting was a true highlight – full of thoughtful conversations, valuable insights and genuine connection. We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and contributed to making it a success!

Explore the "Internet of Eyes" (IoEyes) concept: a network of visual sensors and cameras that will give inanimate objects the ability to "see," exponentially impacting businesses and humanity through computer vision and AI.

Luciana Lixandru, Partner at Sequoia Capital, focuses on enterprise and consumer technology companies across Europe and co-leads Sequoia's early-stage investment business. She is a Director of Pennylane, Robco, Stripe, Tacto, and VEED, and is passionate about helping founders unlock their potential and think on a global scale. Luciana joined Sequoia in 2021 to help open its London office - while the firm had been partnering with founders in Europe for years, a team on the ground has enabled them to spot outliers earlier and partner more deeply. With a decade of experience in the European venture market, prior as a partner at Accel, Luciana has deep domain expertise, having backed giants like UiPath (PATH), Deliveroo (DROOF), and Miro, among others.

At our 11th Annual LDV Vision Summit, Luciana and Evan discussed Luciana’s early investments, including UiPath – a company that initially leveraged computer vision and spent nearly a decade finding product–market fit before achieving major success. They also explored trends and early-stage investment opportunities in businesses harnessing visual technologies and AI.

Arcturus has created a volumetric video platform that captures and broadcasts sports action in full 3D. They redefine how we connect with our favorite sports moments by delivering compelling new camera angles for 2D broadcasters and new 3D sports experiences never possible before on mobile or immersive devices. Their SaaS platform delivers the capture, processing, production and distribution of this content. We are thrilled to partner with Steve Sullivan, Devin Horsman, Ewan Johnson, Fraser McArthur and the entire Arcturus team as they deliver the future of live 3D broadcast quality sports coverage.

We led their $2.3M seed round with participation from Myelin VC, Vanderbilt University and angel investors including Harvard Business School Alumni Angels of Greater New York.

Every robot, drone, self-driving car, delivery bot, and surgical assistant that claims “intelligence” is fundamentally a product of visual and/or electromagnetic perception systems. The success of Physical AI doesn’t start with neural networks or GPUs – it starts with cameras, sensors, and spectral scanners that give machines their first sense of reality.

Physical AI will not succeed until machines can truly see.

Evan Nisselson, Founder and General Partner at LDV Capital, first met Victor Riparbelli, Co-Founder & CEO at Synthesia, in November 2018 and shared his team’s vision to empower anyone to create video content without cameras or studios. In 2019, LDV Capital led their $3.1M Seed financing.

In January 2025, the company announced their $180 million in a Series D round led by NEA, with participation from WiL, Atlassian Ventures, PSP Growth and existing investors. Adobe Ventures made a strategic investment in April 2025. That same month, the company surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue. Synthesia is now the UK’s most valuable generative AI media company and the worldwide market leader in enterprise AI video. Most recently, the team announced Synthesia 3.0, the next era of video.

At out 11th Annual LDV Vision Summit, Evan and Victor discussed Victor’s journey, Synthesia’s rapid growth and the future potential of AI video, including the rise of video agents – the next big shift toward making videos interactive and personalized, evolving the medium beyond a one-way broadcasting format.

Meet Dr. Daniel Sodickson – Chief of Innovation in Radiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and an Expert at LDV Capital. In his book, “The Future of Seeing: How Imaging Is Changing Our World”, he traces humanity’s long quest to illuminate the invisible – from the first biological eyes that evolved in Earth’s ancient oceans to the telescopes, microscopes and MRI machines that map worlds beyond the reach of natural vision. Blending history, science and imagination, he reveals how imaging has reshaped medicine, altered economies and reframed our understanding of privacy and identity. Now, on the brink of an AI-driven revolution, Dr. Sodickson invites us to consider a future in which technology emulates not just our sight, but our very minds – changing how we see the world, each other and ourselves. Dan’s vision aligns with our fund’s thesis dating back to 2012.
