Background
Radical Ventures co-led TwelveLabs' $100m Series B, announced 1 July 2026, backing the video-understanding AI startup as Amazon formalised AWS as its preferred cloud and headcount tripled to roughly 178.
Radical Ventures is a Toronto-headquartered venture capital firm that invests specifically in artificial intelligence companies, backing both foundational AI research labs and applied AI startups across sectors from enterprise software to life sciences.
Its UK activity extends beyond media AI: Radical Ventures has also backed British deep-tech, having taken part in Orbital Industries' $50m Series B alongside NVIDIA's NVentures . That spread, from a Toronto AI specialist writing cheques into UK space hardware and US video-understanding software alike, reflects how concentrated the pool of AI-literate venture capital has become.
