LD Capital portfolio: 117 companies, 82 of 120 rounds in 2021

117 LD Capital portfolio companies tracked on NAUT, 120 rounds from August 2019 to July 2024. Logos: Babylon, Boba Network, Gari Network, ALETHIA AI (prev. Alethea AI), Flare Network, Pocket Network, Qredo, Efinity, Litentry, Cookie3, Swan Chain, DAOBase.

NAUT tracks 117 project and platform companies in the LD Capital portfolio, across 120 funding rounds dated between August 2019 and July 2024, counted on 14 November 2026. The largest backings on NAUT's record include Babylon, Boba Network and Gari Network, 51 of the 117 companies have a token, and the average round is $6.7M.

Data note. Counted on 14 November 2026 from NAUT's own database: every round record where NAUT lists LD Capital as a backer, on its live investor row. An archived duplicate row was merged into that one and is left out. The live row holds 121 round records; 1 of them sits at Good Games Guild, which NAUT types as an investor, so this page counts the other 120 records at 117 companies. 3 companies carry 2 records each: Babylon, Cookie3 and Push Protocol. Babylon's 2 records are both $70M, 1 dated 30 May 2024 and 1 undated pre-launch record, so they may be 1 raise stored twice; both count in the averages here as stored.

118 of the 120 records carry an amount (Nodepay and Shyft Network do not), and 3 carry no date. The amounts are whole round sizes, since NAUT stores no LD Capital cheque size. NAUT's LD Capital page shows a stored average of $6.7M over its 121 records, the same figure to 1 decimal as the 120 counted here. A source check read press coverage for the 8 largest round records; the other 112 records were not put through that check. Sector tags overlap, so a company with 2 tags counts in both, and 22 companies carry no tag. Written by NAUT Research.

LD Capital's own X bio says it has backed more than 250 portfolio companies since 2016, so the 117 here are the ones NAUT holds a round record for.

Which LD Capital portfolio rounds were the largest?

NAUT's record holds a $100M round dated 11 December 2021 under IOTA. The source check found coverage naming a separate smart-contract network in the IOTA ecosystem as the raiser (CoinDesk), so it stays out of this ranking. Ranked by round size on NAUT's record, the next 10:
