Co-founded Layer 6 AI (sold to TD Bank, became Chief AI Officer). Co-founded the Vector Institute for AI in Toronto with Tomi Poutanen and Geoffrey Hinton. Co-founded Radical Ventures — manages $2.5B+ in assets. Closed $650M early-stage AI fund. Portfolio: Cohere ($5.5B), Waabi (autonomous trucking), World Labs (Fei-Fei Li, 3D spatial AI). For hardware founders: Radical is the 'academic network' VC — deep connection to Hinton and the Canadian AI ecosystem gives unique deal flow in research-to-product companies.
