Nimbus Synergies, investor, partner, and mentor to Canada’s leading health technology companies, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jason Robertson as Partner.

Over the past five years, Jason has established a track record of leading Seed to Series A investments in a dozen startups – deploying over $21M of capital – on behalf of Nimbus as well as supporting two exits as a Board member.
“Partnering with early-stage founders is more than just providing capital – it’s about listening with empathy and intention, sharing experiences and connections, and ultimately helping them to achieve their aspirations,” commented Jason. “I believe investing is an opportunity to shape your best vision for our future and working alongside our innovative companies who are defining that future is an honour and privilege.”
Prior to Nimbus, Jason was head of Business Development for Aquinox Pharmaceuticals for almost a decade. During that time, Jason was integrally involved in the company’s raising of >$200M in financing, successful NASDAQ IPO, and $155M partnership with Japanese pharmaceutical company Astellas Pharma.
