Atomic is both a venture studio and an early-stage venture capital firm. Founded in 2012 by serial entrepreneur Jack Abraham, Atomic's approach to founding, scaling, and funding companies internally has been replicated by hundreds of VC, Growth Equity, and Hedge Funds worldwide while generating billions of dollars in enterprise value.
Companies like Hims & Hers, Openstore, Homebound, Replicant, Found, Butter, and Bungalow all were built within the Atomic Studio and dozens more. Just as venture capital and private equity models were once new inventions, we are proud to have pioneered and continue to try to perfect the venture studio fund model as a new asset class for capital allocators. Today this model is now proven, popular, and frequently emulated, and we believe there has never been a better time to build.
