Nimbus Synergies, a leading Canadian early-stage health technology investor and mentor to Canada's most promising health tech entrepreneurs, is excited to announce the GENERATOR’s relocation to new office space situated on the corner of West Broadway and Oak. This physical move marks the most significant strategic change in the GENERATOR’s 12-year history as it shifts focus to nurturing health tech startups exclusively. This unique 5,000 sqft startup hub, remains a rent-free co-working space, dedicated to providing support for early-stage startups, fostering a thriving health innovation ecosystem in British Columbia.
The new space at 1001 West Broadway, scouted by Alain Rivere of the High Technologies Facilities Group of CBRE, features a spacious open plan layout, abundant natural light, and a captivating outdoor deck with stunning views of Vancouver. The location offers proximity to leading health research organizations including Vancouver General Hospital, BC Cancer Agency, Genome BC, and BC Centre for Disease Control and is anticipated to be ready for occupancy by the end of the year.
"We are thrilled to announce our move to this new space," stated Paul Geyer, CEO at Nimbus Synergies. "The narrowing of focus to health tech ventures aligns with Nimbus’ vision to build a globally recognized health technology ecosystem in BC through leadership, investment, mentorship, philanthropy, and space. We extend a warm invitation to health tech startups based in BC to connect with us and explore the potential opportunities within our new GENERATOR space."
To better serve its constituents, Nimbus Synergies has replaced the competition-based selection process with a curated approach to identify and select companies in need of space and poised to benefit from the shared resources and expertise within the GENERATOR, especially underrepresented founders. This robust selection process will help foster a diverse and interconnected community of complementary and forward-thinking startups.
In anticipation of the move, the GENERATOR has also shifted to a flexible workspace model in response to the prevalence of hybrid work arrangements adopted by most companies. The incorporation of hotdesking and bookable private offices ensures the optimal utilization of the space and increases the opportunity for synergistic interactions and collaborations amongst resident startups.
Nimbus Synergies is dedicated to fostering an inclusive, welcoming workspace for diverse founders to learn and grow from each other. For more information or to be considered for the GENERATOR program, please email arushi@nimbusinc.vc.
