Radical Ventures

Radical Ventures is a venture capital firm founded in 2017 by Jordan Jacobs, Tomi Poutanen, Maks Volkovs, and Benji Sucher. Headquartered in Toronto with offices in San Francisco and London, the firm manages approximately $1.8 billion in AUM, backed by institutional investors including the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and PSP Investments. The firm invests in entrepreneurs applying deep technology — primarily machine learning and artificial intelligence — to transform massive industries including healthcare, financial services, transportation, and life sciences. It backs companies from pre-seed through growth stage, and recently launched a dedicated $800 million growth fund targeting later-stage AI companies; its first fund focused beyond early-stage investing. Radical's portfolio includes some of the most prominent AI-native companies globally, such as Cohere, Waabi, Writer, Hebbia, Twelve Labs, World Labs, and Crusoe. Recent investments include Decart ($300M), Waabi's $750M Series C, Cinder Technologies, Orbital Industries, and Inherent, reflecting continued conviction in foundational AI infrastructure and applications.
