Atomico closes its fifth venture capital fund at $820 million targeting Series A rounds but with the ability to invest in what it calls “breakout” companies at the Series B and C stage.
Our latest fund doubles down on our core strategy: to partner with mission-driven European founders at Series A and beyond, where our Growth Acceleration Team of operational partners can best be deployed to help them scale. At $820 million, our fund size also enables us to continue to invest at Series B and C into breakout companies.
We partner with ambitious founders who deliver positive, transformational change — across every aspect of our society and economy — building category winners and sector definers. Backed by breakthrough technology and innovative business models, we continue to believe that entrepreneurs are the ultimate gamechangers. They take risks and push boundaries to rewire the world in favour of something better for as many people as possible.
We’re proud to have an increasingly diversified institutional investor base aligned with our vision, who are as excited as we are by the strength of European tech. Atomico V was oversubscribed, closing above our target of $750m to take Atomico’s total AUM to $2.7B. Investors in this fund included a mix of high calibre global institutional investors, existing and new, including pension funds, fund-of-funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, banks, family offices and government-backed entities from across the world.
