Atomico Venture VI

Atomico Venture VI is a $485 million early-stage venture capital fund managed by Atomico, the London-headquartered VC firm founded in 2006 by Skype co-founder Niklas Zennström. The fund reached its final close in September 2024 as part of Atomico's largest-ever fundraise — a simultaneous $1.24 billion dual-close alongside Atomico Growth VI ($754 million), the firm's dedicated growth capital vehicle. Domiciled in Luxembourg, Atomico Venture VI is the sixth generation of the firm's core venture franchise and reflects its conviction that European technology has reached an inflection point comparable to Silicon Valley a generation earlier.

Atomico Venture VI focuses predominantly on Series A investments, with the flexibility to participate selectively in Seed-stage opportunities where conviction is highest. The fund takes a generalist approach across the technology landscape, targeting companies in AI and machine learning, cybersecurity, fintech, healthtech, industrial automation, and enterprise software. Its geographic mandate is pan-European, covering innovation ecosystems across the UK, DACH region, Nordics, France, the Benelux, and emerging markets across the continent. Venture VI operates in tandem with Growth VI, which deploys capital from Series B to pre-IPO, giving Atomico full coverage of a European founder's journey from early stage to public markets.

Atomico brings a track record of more than 155 investments and nearly two decades of European technology investing to Venture VI. The firm's portfolio has produced 24 unicorns, 7 IPOs, and 54 acquisitions, including landmark companies such as Klarna, Stripe, and DeepL. Venture VI has already deployed capital across 20-plus investments since close, with early portfolio companies including Neko Health (Stockholm), Ben and Dexory (London), Deeploi (Berlin), Strise (Oslo), and Lakera (Zurich), demonstrating the fund's continued focus on mission-driven founders building category-defining technology companies from Europe.
