About
Atomico is a venture capital firm that invests in disruptive technology companies with ambitious founders from Series A onwards. Atomico primarily focuses on Europe, although we do invest globally. We take our work seriously and we are laser focused on when and where we can add the most value to the founders with whom we partner. We invest across technology sectors, but given we have deep expertise in scaling companies, we only look for opportunities where a founder has achieved product market fit, is ready to scale and is in a position to become the category leader. Our experienced team includes entrepreneurs and executives from the world's most successful technology firms who partner with our companies as they scale to become global winners.
