Esther Dyson is an investor, author, commentator, philanthropist and full-time founder of Wellville – a ten-year nonprofit project (ending in 2024) to show the long-term value of investing in health, resilience and equity for all. Aside from Wellville, her primary activity is investing in and nurturing start-ups, with a focus on health, human capital, logistics and space exploration (by both humans and machines). Esther wrote the bestselling, widely translated book, “Release 2.0: A Design for Living in the Digital Age”. She was an early investor in 23andMe, Avanlee Care, Evernote, Flickr, Mashery, Medstory, Meetup, Omada Health, Square, Ezra (LDV portfolio company) and others. Esther dispenses candid wisdom gained through a long career of being present without leave, in roles starting as a fact-checker for Forbes Magazine, a securities analyst studying Federal Express before it shipped its first package, a backup to (Microsoft Word creator) Charles Simonyi as a space tourist and also including board seats at 23andMe, Meetup, WPP Group and “Google of Russia” Yandex.

LDV Capital: http://www.ldv.co/ LDV Capital invests in people building businesses powered by visual technologies. We thrive on collaborating with deep, technical teams leveraging computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to analyze visual data. We are the only venture capital firm with this thesis. Our first Annual LDV Vision Summit in 2014 has become known to top technologists, investors, and entrepreneurs as the premier global gathering in visual tech. In 2024, due to the virtual nature of the 10th LDV Vision Summit, it was attended by hundreds of people from at least 30 countries. Building a business that leverages visual tech/AI? It’s never too early to reach out. We are looking to partner with outliers who are building leapfrog deep tech solutions aimed at improving the world and making all of us a lot of money while we sleep!
