About Jonathan Lam

Jonathan Lam is a general partner at Root and Shoot Ventures who built his own path as a founder before becoming an investor, having started and run companies like Peerfunder, a financing company for small businesses, and helped scale Localcoin into Canada's largest physical exchange with eight-figure annual revenue in just over a year. Today he continues that hands-on approach as a partner at Unity Investments, where he works on special-situations capital alongside his venture investing at Root and Shoot.

Avg Check Size

Root and Shoot Ventures is structurally "powered by" Unity Investments and operates across three global hubs—Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Toronto—while primarily investing in U.S. deals, creating an unusually international footprint for an early-stage fund. The fund writes checks averaging ~$2.3M with a disclosed maximum of $26M across 30+ investments, demonstrating an atypically wide check-size range and follow-on capacity for a small LA-based fund.
