Atempo Growth is a pan-European growth debt platform with €850M in assets under management, providing flexible, non-dilutive venture debt financing to high-growth technology and tech-enabled companies from Series A through to pre-IPO. The firm targets companies with negative EBITDA and cash flow but a clear value trajectory, offering tailored lending solutions — including runway extension, acquisition financing, SPV structures, and strategic liquidity buffers — as a complement to equity capital rather than a replacement. With offices in London and Italy and a pan-European presence spanning the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and beyond, Atempo leverages over 120 years of combined team experience across 200+ deals to support ambitious founders and management teams with speed, transparency, and a long-term collaborative approach.
Notable quotes
“With the closing of Atempo Growth II, we are delighted to welcome CDP Venture Capital among our investors. Reaching this milestone is a significant step for the company. With assets under management now totalling €850 million, we can further scale our platform and strengthen our support for European technology companies, with a growing focus on the Italian market. We are continuing to strengthen our team and expand our presence in Europe, with the aim of extending our reach and accelerating innovation across the continent.”
“We are delighted for the continued support of Santander and British Business Investments, and we are excited to welcome the European Investment Fund into our second Fund. This is a significant milestone for Atempo as our AuM crosses over €700 million, giving us the opportunity to further build on our platform in support of European technology.”
“We're delighted to be supporting such a fast-growing and successful company such as Form3.”
