About Jonathan Booth

I’m the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Booth-Laird Capital Management and Booth-Laird Ventures. At Booth-Laird Capital Management, I lead a fundamentals-first investment strategy focused on high-quality businesses and assets. We manage capital across public equities and income-focused strategies through a long-term, research-driven approach. Booth-Laird Ventures is our platform for direct, early-stage investing. We back startups one deal at a time through dedicated vehicles - no fund, no pressure, just conviction and alignment. Across both platforms, I prioritize deep research, disciplined capital allocation, and long-term value creation. I stay closely involved with the companies we back, often through board or advisory roles, and currently serve on the boards of multiple portfolio companies. I believe the best results come from clarity, alignment, and high-conviction decisions applied consistently at scale.
