Fund History
- LDV Capital was founded in April 2012 and has filed four numbered funds with the SEC, each stepping up methodically.
- LDV Capital II, L.P. filed a $15 million Form D in September 2016 from New York, with LDV Capital GP II, LLC as general partner and Evan Nisselson as the named executive officer.
- LDV Capital III, L.P. doubled the target to $30 million in February 2020, LDV Capital IV, L.P. sought $40 million in January 2023, and LDV Capital V, L.P. filed a $50 million offering in August 2026, the first to be filed from Wilson, Wyoming rather than New York.
- Nisselson is the sole named executive officer on all four, each through a matching numbered general partner entity.
- None of the four filings disclose an amount sold, so reported commitments are not available from the SEC record; combined offering capacity across Funds II through V is $135 million.
- The firm writes $500,000 to $1.5 million checks at pre-seed and seed.
