Robertson was raised in Markham, Ontario. She says her biggest preparation for becoming a producer was having laid back parents: "It's good early training to have an incredibly irresponsible family. It forces a young person to take responsibility, to be organized. My mother called me the benevolent dictator because I liked things done in an efficient way."
Robertson dropped out of high school at the age of 16 to move to Los Angeles, California.
In Los Angeles, she became an assistant to Mike Binder, whom she had met at Camp Tamakwa in Algonquin Provincial Park, memorialized in his 1993 film Indian Summer. She went on to work for Hart Bochner, Jay Roach and Adam McKay.
