Jordan Jacobs is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Radical Ventures, a Toronto-based artificial intelligence venture firm he launched in 2017 after co-founding Layer 6 AI, which was acquired by TD Bank Group in 2018. He also initiated the concept for the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence and serves on its Board of Directors. Jacobs and his co-founder Tomi Poutanen invest across Seed to growth stages in AI applications, foundation models, and AI infrastructure, focusing primarily on North America and the UK. Typical investment checks range from $1 million to $25 million, with the firm often acting as a lead investor in early rounds. Notable portfolio companies include Cohere, Waabi, and Pixxel, which span the full AI upgrade cycle from infrastructure to applications. Jacobs distinguishes his approach by backing “AI-native” companies that leverage deep technology to transform industries like healthcare, finance, and transportation, a thesis he has discussed publicly on podcasts such as The Unlimited.
