About Amir Nashat

Amir Nashat repeatedly steps in as the founding or first CEO of the companies he helps create, including Dewpoint, Jnana, Living Proof, Sun Catalytix, Paratus, and now Soufflé Therapeutics, working closely with well-known scientist-founders and often building out the underlying technical infrastructure, not just the therapeutics themselves. His unusually deep engineering and materials science background, combined with training under Robert Langer, shapes how he approaches biology, and he has also helped shape MIT's entrepreneurship programs, including early involvement in building MIT Sandbox.

Polaris Partners operates three specialized funds under one platform—core venture for healthcare and life sciences, a growth fund exclusively for profitable founder-owned B2B SaaS companies with $4-20M revenue who want to retain significant ownership, and an innovation fund that systematically turns academic biomedical research into companies with help from world-class scientists. With nearly 30 years focused heavily on healthcare, the firm has backed 400+ companies and helped bring 50+ therapies to market, while building a cross-Atlantic and Asia-Europe bridge for biotech formation through offices like 65LAB in Singapore.
