Founded in 2006 by Niklas Zennström with Janus Friis, Atomico is a tightly-knit team with track records of having started, grown and exited technology companies that have transformed their industries and realised outstanding returns for shareholders.

Our extensive relationships span Europe, the US, South America and Asia, which allows us to leverage the strength of our relationships around the world to help grow portfolio companies into tomorrow's leading global companies.

Atomico passionately believes that the best way to build real businesses which transform industries and also deliver outsized investor returns is by investing in and partnering with great entrepreneurs and great management teams.

We aim to invest in high-growth technology businesses which have a large market potential, as well as game-changing technologies or innovative business models. However we are open-minded and more excited by great teams executing big ideas than in specific regions, sectors and markets.

We like to invest as early as possible, and to lead investment rounds, and will often partner with other investors in order to create a diversified team to support our entrepreneurs. We help our portfolio companies by being involved when they need us, and giving them space when they don't.
