About This Fund
Atomico Growth VI is Atomico's first-ever dedicated growth-stage venture capital vehicle, raised alongside Atomico Venture VI as part of the firm's largest-ever fundraise announced in September 2024. Founded in 2006 by Niklas Zennstrom, co-founder of Skype, Atomico is one of Europe's foremost venture capital firms with a portfolio spanning Klarna, Supercell, Graphcore, and other iconic technology businesses. The creation of a dedicated growth fund marks a significant strategic evolution for Atomico, which had previously channeled growth-stage capital through its flagship multi-stage funds and allows the firm to deploy larger individual investment amounts at Series B and beyond without constraining the early-stage focus of its parallel venture vehicle.
Atomico Growth VI deploys capital across Series B through pre-IPO rounds in European technology companies, making it one of the most significant growth-stage vehicles raised in Europe in the 2024 vintage. The fund backs companies across software, artificial intelligence, fintech, consumer technology, climate, and other sectors where Atomico has established deep domain expertise and network relationships built over nearly two decades. With this vehicle, Atomico can write larger growth checks — enabling deeper ownership and more material follow-on support — alongside its core Series A activities through Atomico Venture VI. The fund is designed to support European companies as they scale from growth-stage businesses toward potential IPO candidacy.
Atomico Growth VI closed at USD 754 million in September 2024, forming the larger of the two new Atomico funds and the firm's biggest single vehicle to date. The combined USD 1.24 billion raised across both funds surpassed Atomico's prior USD 820 million Fund V vintage by more than 50%. Early Growth VI investments included European AI translation leader DeepL, travel platform Pelago, and a lead position on Corti's Series B round. The close was advised by Proskauer Rose LLP.
