About LDV Capital
LDV Capital is a New York-based early-stage venture fund founded by Evan Nisselson, focused exclusively on investing in companies that use visual technologies, computer vision, machine learning for images and video, and AI applied to visual data. The fund writes initial checks of roughly $250K to $2M at seed and pre-seed, can lead small rounds, and reserves capital for follow-on. Healthcare exposure is partial and concentrated in medical imaging, computer vision for clinical applications, surgical AI, and dermatology and ophthalmology software, where the visual technology thesis intersects with healthcare. AI focus is the primary thesis, particularly in computer vision. Founders best suited are seed-stage technical CEOs building computer vision or AI imaging products, with strong technical credentials and clear data moat strategies, including healthcare applications in radiology, pathology, surgery, and other visual specialties. Founders who do not fit include digital health services without a visual technology angle, therapeutics, devices without an imaging core, and consumer wellness. Geographic preference is global with a US and New York bias. The entry path is warm introduction through a portfolio CEO, a computer vision operator, or a co-investor, plus participation in the annual LDV Vision Summit which serves as a deal-flow channel. LinkedIn outreach to Evan Nisselson with a focused visual technology and traction summary is a reasonable secondary option given the fund’s accessible posture. Expect deep technical diligence on computer vision approach, data sources, and team credentials, alongside commercial diligence.
