About This Fund
Atomico Venture VI is the sixth flagship early-stage venture capital fund of Atomico, the London-based investment firm founded in 2006 by Niklas Zennstrom, co-founder of Skype, alongside Bart Swanson and others. The firm has earned a reputation as one of Europe's most influential venture capital investors, building a portfolio that includes category-defining companies such as Klarna, Supercell, Graphcore, and Lilium. Atomico supports its founders from the earliest stages through to late-stage growth and public markets, leveraging a team of experienced operators and investors across its London headquarters and broader European network.
Atomico Venture VI targets primarily Series A investments in European technology companies, with a portion of capital reserved for seed-stage opportunities. The fund backs ambitious entrepreneurs building large-scale businesses across software, artificial intelligence, consumer technology, climate, healthcare technology, and other high-growth sectors. Atomico partners closely with founders from the point of first investment and provides strategic and operational support through its integrated platform throughout the company lifecycle. The investment mandate is geographically focused on Europe, spanning the United Kingdom, the Nordic region, Germany, and Southern and Eastern European markets.
The fund closed at USD 485 million in September 2024 as part of Atomico's largest-ever fundraise, totaling USD 1.24 billion across two simultaneous vehicles — Atomico Venture VI and the separately raised Atomico Growth VI. The combined raise exceeded Atomico's prior Fund V vintage of USD 820 million raised in 2020 by more than 50%. Twenty-one investments had already been made from the combined new funds at the time of close, including Neko Health, Ben, Dexory, Deeploi, Strise, and Lakera. The close was advised by Proskauer Rose LLP.
