As capital becomes a commodity with more early-stage investors flocking to Africa, what will make us stand out will be our networks, relationships, and reputations. What we look forLarge Markets: A clear market opportunity that is massive and growing, captured through a scalable business model. We aim at reaching sustainable impact across a large audience by addressing deep markets, or investing in market-creating innovations. Scalable Economics: Tech-enabled businesses with proven, highly leverageable and defensible revenues, coupled with the ability to improve unit economics through cost and capital efficiency are able to achieve top-trend growth more easily than less efficient business structures. We are disciplined in ensuring the unit economics of the business we invest in are sustainable and attractive. Strong Agile Teams: We are looking for founders that combine strategic vision and executional capacity. Strong teams tend to be bound by a cohesive, inclusive, all-hands-on deck culture. We are seeking founders and teams guided by a clear value proposition and differentiated position in the market. Repeatable Growth: Solutions with highly replicable growth models and transferable problem-solution sets can most benefit from our growth investment and market expansion facilitation. As African markets are not uniform, we carefully model and test solution-market fit. How much funding will you get? If you are an African founder of a tech enabled startup that is solving a significant African development challenge please apply here. If you have little or no revenues, we will refer you to our Angel Fund for $10k to $100k funding consideration. If you have meaningful revenues with high growth potential, we may invest $50k-$250k.

Why should you partner with us? If you’re a founder asking yourself whether or not we are the right partner for you, here are the five principles that guide how we act as a team. Hold us to them when you meet us. Aligned to Win: Greatness occurs when remarkable people with diverse perspectives work together as one. By empowering each other, sharing credit and encouraging each other to act as owners we make the whole stronger than the sum of its parts. What does this mean for you? With egos left at the door, we can work together towards one common goal: helping you build a business that changes the world. Performance Through Integrity: ​​We achieve our best performance and results as a team through integrity. We get to the right decisions through frank discussions based on data and logic in an environment where diverse perspectives and independent thinking is encouraged. We identify biases and blind spots and we are always conscious of our impact on our wider environment as world citizens. We contribute to a diverse and inclusive culture, higher standards of professionalism, and a fair, safe and collaborative environment. What does this mean for you? Our objective is to be the investor you are proud to have on your cap table. Partners to Gamechangers: We pride ourselves on being genuine partners to the entrepreneurs we work with. We build lasting relationships. Venture is a long term game, helping those who share our mission by sharing our experiences. By getting to know founders early on both we and you can better gauge if there is a good match. What does this mean for you? Our aim is to always have a positive reference from founders we have worked with. Feel free to ask any of our founders, whether they succeeded or not, which investor they would recommend and why? Life is too short to not be decent to each other. Bold and Progressive: We are calculated risk-takers with strong judgement and conviction. We are not afraid of bold action to lead our industry, rather than follow. We have a growth mindset and use data and feedback in pursuit of continuous learning and improvement. What does this mean for you? We challenge ourselves to think big and long-term. Expect us to do the same to you. Humble: We are honest, authentic, and transparent. We are not afraid to make mistakes, and when we do, we admit when we are wrong and learn from it. We are honest about our own limitations and recognise the skills, knowledge and strengths of our colleagues so that we can achieve our desired outcomes collaboratively as a team. We seek guidance and feedback from others, and we remain teachable, always. What does this mean for you? We are not perfect, but we’ve all got your back and you will always have someone you can to talk to. No matter the time of day or night. How we invest What should founders expect? The truth is no two founders, products or business models are the same, and so there is no ‘one size-fits-all’ approach to investing. However, as a founder, these are some general things you should expect if we are lucky enough to be invited into your fundraising process. Our goal is to align on vision and shared ambition For us, this is the most important thing. Like you, we are not here to make incremental progress. We want to accelerate those who want to move the world forward. Trust us, but also take a look at our portfolio, no vision is too ambitious. Get to know us, not just other way round We will want you to meet our team, not just one of us. We want you to have a clear understanding of what we can do for you over the coming decade and who you’ll be working with. Talk to some of our existing founders about working with us through good times and bad, and talk to your peers and network about us. We want you to make an informed decision that is in the best interest of your business. We know firsthand how valuable your time is, so we move at your speed. It’s why we take a thematic and relationship-led approach to investing. It means we can build conviction fast, move at your speed, and align with you from our first conversation. We listen, more than we talk. Don’t worry, that’s because we focus on the things that matter and we do our work upfront. But we will have questions. It’s never too early to speak to us We back you from the earliest stages through to IPO. While there are always exceptions to the rule, we typically focus on European founders at the early stages, and founders whose global vision includes winning in Europe at the growth stage. Commitments We’re Making To Build a Better Ecosystem in Europe Our mission at Atomico is to develop the world’s most prosperous, sustainable, inclusive and mission-driven technology ecosystem right here in Europe. Since 2006 we have been disrupting the venture capital industry in Europe, and a big part of that is never standing still or being afraid to be the trailblazers for different ways of doing things. Research and data show us that diverse teams have a greater perspective, make better decisions and perform better. As VCs we have a privileged hand in building the future; it is a direct responsibility of ours, then, to help build an equitable and just tomorrow We are not perfect, nor are we there yet, but we share our convictions to push our industry and our ecosystem forward. Here are just some of the initiatives that we’ve committed to so far: Our annual State of European Tech Report is the industry barometer and largest free data repository on our ecosystem today, highlighting progress but also where we must improve. Atomico’s Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion - here’s everything we’re doing. If you work at another VC, feel free to reach out to us if you want to chat about how it’s going. We published Diversity & Inclusion in Tech: A Practical Guidebook for Entrepreneurs, in partnership with DiversityVC We launched our Access Atomico Office Hours programme for underrepresented founders Across our active portfolio, 34% of our founding teams include a female or non-white founder. Across our team 63% of our investment team come from some kind of underrepresented background (be that either non-male, ethnic minority, LGBTQ+, disability or socio economic background) and 74% of the total Atomico team identify as underrepresented. We launched, and open-sourced, our Conscious Scaling Programme to help our founders prepare responsibly for a world in which their products and services will impact potentially millions of people We launched Our 12 months Atomico Angel Programme to activate a new generation of angel investors including tech clusters that have been underrepresented in the past. Only by relentlessly reaching new networks can we ensure maximum spread of opportunity for the next generation of founders. You can see our cohorts of angels, and their investments to date, here: Cohort 1, Cohort 2 and Cohort 3 We have also made a number of LP commitments to first time fund managers focusing on underrepresented founders. We have published our Commitment to ESG We are Carbon Positive, including triple offsetting our own carbon footprint, and we are proud that our new home in London was the first office in the UK to receive the Net Zero certification.

We're looking for the rebels. We invest in the underdogs. The contrarians. The resilient. We want to write the untold stories that rewire prevailing ways of thinking and doing. We’re a VC firm that helps build, not bet on, companies transforming massive industries. We started from an MIT dorm room during the Great Recession and spent the last decade helping build industry-leading companies, often bringing them their biggest, million-dollar customers. Everyone told us we were crazy when we got started. Now we have offices in Boston, San Francisco, and London. We like defying the crowd, following our instincts, and proving them wrong. We love if you do too. We admire people who think really big. Those who want to craft legendary, contrarian companies worth $5B or more. Those who have an irrational belief in your vision. We are very patient and have both youth and experience on our side, and we are hungry to build. We lead Seed, Series A, and early Series B rounds. We prefer B2B companies tackling large traditional industries and/or commercializing research from top-tier groups. We are generalist, but themes that excite us include: human-machine convergence (augmentation and automation) consumer-enterprise interface (digitalization of the consumer experience) enterprise agility (‘real-time’ actionable insights from novel data sources) new industrial revolution (use of sensors and software in industry) security of all data (more digitalization, more security problems) software eating healthcare (making delivery more accurate, efficient, efficacious) generation Z (the future) How much are you looking to raise?$0 - 3M (Pre-Seed / Seed): We write small checks into multiple companies at the Seed stage. Our goal is to work closely with you to determine whether we should continue our investment at the Series A. Historically, we have achieved a 2:1 ratio in terms of Seed investments to Series A follow-on rounds. $3 - 10M (Series A): We lead $3-10M rounds at the Series A stage. Our core investments are either follow-on investments from companies we’ve seeded or first checks into new additions to our portfolio. As the lead institutional investor in your company, we will work closely with your executive team and board and serve as a true partner in your growth. $10 - 20M (Series B): We lead $10-20M rounds at the Series B stage. A portion of these investments will be follow-ons from our Series A companies, but many will be new additions to our portfolio. We partner with entrepreneurs who are uninterested in raising artificially inflated rounds and who seek active partners to help hire executives, build boards, and optimize growth strategy. How we help We don’t bet. We build – and that starts from our first interaction with each entrepreneur. We work tirelessly to add value to the companies in our portfolio, and we base that strategy around four core pillars. Customer Acquisition: We help you kick down doors, secure early pilots, and win contracts with key customers. Building Go-to-Market Teams: We work closely with you to find and win the best talent for your most critical roles. Fundraising Strategies: We guide you as you prepare and pursue additional capital to build and grow. Board-Level Strategy: We support you in making decisions as an experienced voice at the table, and we bring in other players who can add outsized value.

Trust Fund is focused on early-stage consumer businesses that make people's work and personal lives better. Think: cheaper, faster, richer, healthier, more fun, more connected, more productive, more sustainable. We’re in the midst of raising our first fund, targeting $10 million and focused on pre-seed and seed stage companies.
