Sometimes

We've delivered millions of visits in the home. We don't invest from the outside, we back the products we'd deploy across our own operations every day.

Always

We focus on helping companies on monitoring and measuring their metrics and unit economics. We push them to focus on building a sales machine that can be scaled over and over again. We add value also making sure founders can get feedback and advice from other founders in the portfolio who have experienced similar circumstances in the recent past.

Sometimes

We invest super early. As the initial investors in the startups we support, we participate in angel or pre-seed rounds. We frequently collaborate with other funds and angels, and act as the lead investor where required. We are very hands-on. We devote several hours per week to each of our startups, primarily assisting them in building an investable MVP with adequate traction. We are structured, evidence-based and always absolutely honest. We open doors. Our close partnership with the Impact Hub(<https://impacthub.net/>) grants us access to a vast network of entrepreneurs, experts, and decision-makers. As a result, we provide introductions and open doors for our startups regularly.

Sometimes

We are founders with exits, with deep product management and marketing expertise. We connect our portfolio with climate NGOs, policymakers, and enterprise customers, and help founders get to market readiness as fast as possible. We're very hands on.

Never

Network, deep knowledge of the Italian market, hands-on support.

Portfolio examples include Airbnb (IPO 2020), Inkitt, Nextdoor (IPO 2021), Particle, Qwant (exit), Uber (IPO 2019), Wunderflats and Zenhomes (exit).

Sometimes

We believe the least valuable thing we give a founder is the check. We help our companies de-risk the path to their next round through hands-on support, data-driven insights, and warm introductions across our investor and operator network — from sharpening positioning to getting in front of the right downstream investors.

Sometimes

We’re a team of investors, operators, product leaders, and engineers entirely focused on building Data + AI companies. We focus on shaping product vision and GTM.

“LDV Capital was a tremendous value-add to our Mapillary team from our first prototype to our acquisition by Facebook. Their visual technology focus, strong conviction, exceptionally strong network and hands-on collaboration make them great investors and I highly recommend them to fellow entrepreneurs.” Jan Erik Solem

Never

AOP’s edge is operator-led pattern recognition: our CIO, CTO, COO, and enterprise operator network helps identify buyer urgency and adoption friction before those signals are priced into institutional rounds. We turn early operating signal into fund exposure while helping founders with customer introductions, GTM, partnerships, and follow-on capital.

Sometimes

We are builders at heart and invest with high conviction. We partner with ambitious founders early and help them get to product-market fit, build out go-to-market, and navigate major company-building milestones such as downstream fundraising. Our tightly-knit community of more than 100 successful entrepreneurs and technology executives opens doors

Sometimes

We have more connections in the legal industry than anyone else you'll meet. Our LP base consists of top lawyers, law firms, litigation financers, and others.
