About nimbus

Reimagining how first-time fund managers can launch successful crypto funds.

The traditional fund management ecosystem can be daunting for new managers to navigate, so we created an incubator designed to simplify the journey.

Nimbus is more than just a platform—we’re an ideas factory, enabling fund managers to bring new, innovative strategies to life that traditional fund managers often overlook.

Making successful crypto fund management accessible to first-time managers

Kyall Walker, the former head of Australia’s top community venture fund, Upside, chose Nimbus Capital to support his latest venture.

After navigating the complexities of fund management on his own, Kyall realised he wanted a partner who could handle the operational side of things, allowing him to focus on what he does best: identifying high-potential investments.

Kyall launched Persistence Capital with $5m. He is on the way to having one of the best long-only hedge funds globally.

At Nimbus, we provide that partnership, allowing first-time managers to stay focused on their investment strategy while we handle the rest.
