LTV CAPITAL LTD

What LTV CAPITAL LTD does

LTV Capital Ltd is a London-based venture capital research and advisory firm founded by Farhan Lalji and Dario de Wet, both formerly senior at Anthemis Group. The company's single flagship product is "The Definitive Report on Emerging VC Managers," a proprietary research publication built on a database of 800+ emerging fund managers across 58 countries, designed to enable LPs and institutional investors to benchmark fund sizes, performance, financials, team dynamics, diversity, and LP sentiment within the emerging manager segment.

The firm operates a sales-led, direct-to-customer go-to-market via its company website: a free sample of the report is offered as a lead magnet to capture emails, with the full comprehensive report sold as a one-time license through Stripe checkout (buy.stripe.com). Distribution is entirely digital with no disclosed enterprise sales motion, channel partners, or resellers. The registered office is in London (England, company no. 14595969), and the team consists of the two founding partners plus implied supporting staff, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds.

LTV Capital is not a technology company in the conventional sense: there is no disclosed proprietary software platform, no API, no integrations, and no AI/ML components. The core "technology" is the proprietary dataset and the intellectual capital of the founders, whose prior experience at Anthemis Group, Yahoo!, PeerIndex (acquired by Brandwatch), JUMO, and Ringier One Africa Media underwrites the firm's emerging-manager research positioning.

Emerging players

• Signal (formerly Mattermark): A private-market data and intelligence platform (formerly Mattermark) tracking startups, investors, and venture activity. Comparable to LTV in selling subscription data to investors, though Signal is broader in scope and not specifically focused on emerging fund managers.
• Industry Ventures: A firm focused on investing in and supporting emerging VC managers, with research and data components on the emerging-manager ecosystem. Comparable to LTV in its specific focus on emerging VC fund managers, though Industry Ventures is primarily an investor/fund-of-funds versus a pure research business.
• VC Lab: An accelerator and platform supporting emerging venture capital fund managers. Comparable to LTV in its focus on the emerging-manager ecosystem, though VC Lab is an operational accelerator offering fund formation services rather than a research and data business.

Broad incumbents

• PitchBook: A leading provider of private market data and research, including VC and PE. Comparable to LTV as it sells data and research reports to institutional LPs and VCs, though PitchBook is a broad incumbent with much larger datasets and a subscription model across the entire private market.
• CB Insights: A market intelligence platform focused on private companies, technology markets, and venture capital. Comparable to LTV as it produces proprietary research reports sold to institutional clients and VCs, though CB Insights operates at much greater scale and covers broader tech market intelligence.
• Preqin: A major alternative assets data and intelligence platform covering PE, VC, hedge funds and more. Comparable to LTV as it serves institutional LPs making allocation decisions, though Preqin is a broad incumbent with extensive datasets versus LTV's emerging-manager focus.

Direct peers

• Crunchbase: A platform providing data on startups, investors, and funding rounds, with subscription research products serving institutional and venture capital customers. Comparable to LTV in business model and customer base as both monetize proprietary private-market data via subscriptions and reports.
• Dealroom.co: A global startup and venture capital intelligence platform serving investors with market data and reports. Comparable to LTV as it produces subscription-based VC market research and data products for institutional investors, with overlapping customer base and similar content-led B2B model.

Others

• Visible.vc: A platform providing investor reporting, fund management, and benchmarking tools for venture capital fund managers. Comparable to LTV in serving VC fund managers with benchmarking and data tools, though Visible.vc is primarily SaaS software for GPs rather than a research and data firm for LPs.
• Draper Associates Research / Individual GP reports: Various VC firms and research desks that publish proprietary thought-leadership reports for institutional investors. Comparable to LTV in the publishing of niche, branded research targeting LPs, though these are typically adjacent content plays by investment firms rather than dedicated research businesses.
