Radical Ventures

Radical Ventures is a Toronto-based, AI-specialist venture firm co-founded by colleagues of Geoffrey Hinton, whose thesis is that intelligence — including embodied, physical-world intelligence — is the defining platform shift of this era. In the PXS map, Radical enters through a sourced, direct relationship with Generalist AI, the frontier robotics-foundation-model company, which it led at a $400M round and $2B valuation in June 2026. The firm's broader portfolio spans AI infrastructure (Cohere, Etched), world models (World Labs), and autonomy (Waabi), and its Radical Breakouts Fund reached a first close above $1B in September 2026. The research map records an attributed financing relationship, not a complete portfolio or a live ownership register, and only direct, sourced relationships to existing mapped companies are captured. Radical is most useful as a signal that a leading AI-specialist capital network is backing embodied-intelligence foundation models, anchoring the Physical AI universe's robotics layer to frontier-model capital. Backed by a franchise spanning Cohere, Etched, World Labs, and Waabi, Radical is among the largest AI-specialist funds in the map, and its lead position in Generalist AI anchors the robotics layer to frontier-model capital.
