Jonas Brandon

Director, Venture Investments

Jonas moved to Toronto from Canada’s southernmost province, Florida,
where he studied law and worked in technology transfer (licensing 30 patented technologies developed at the University of Florida, including one for the inventor of Gatorade) and venture capital (managing 11 Seed and Series A investments).

Upon arriving in Canada, Jonas cofounded StartupNorth in order to bring together Canadian technology entrepreneurs and investors. Prior to joining Rogers Ventures Jonas cofounded two startups, backed by some of Canada’s leading angel investors. He led the formation of a company commercializing research from the University of Toronto and then grew an ecommerce company into a category leader. Jonas remains an advisor to both companies which continue to thrive.

“Working together we
can build great
companies.”

His main area of interest is technology companies that leverage the economics of IP based delivery. Jonas brings his investment acumen, relentless energy, and commitment to the growth of Canadian startups to Rogers Ventures.
