Marketing & Content Lead
LDV Capital is a thesis-driven early-stage deep tech venture fund investing in people building businesses powered by visual technology and artificial intelligence. A majority of the data our brains analyze is visual. Therefore, the majority of the data AI will analyze will also be visual, spanning the light and electromagnetic spectrums across all sectors.
