Atomic is a venture studio that pioneered the model of starting companies by pairing exceptional co-founders with the best ideas, teams, and resources. Rather than investing in existing startups, Atomic generates its own pipeline of ideas, rigorously validates them, and then recruits entrepreneurs to co-found and build those companies from scratch — providing capital, playbooks, and a built-in team of specialists spanning legal, finance, HR, design, and marketing. As Jack Abraham has stated, Atomic brings 'ideas, capital, and talent together, partnering with co-founders to build the best ideas into great companies,' with the goal of de-risking company creation and accelerating time to market. Atomic's fourth fund of $320 million — its largest to date and part of over $750 million in total AUM — is used exclusively to fund companies started at Atomic. The firm focuses on high-impact sectors including AI, energy, healthcare, fintech, real estate, and enterprise software, working with 10–15 new co-founders each year across its offices in Miami and San Francisco. Atomic describes its approach as giving co-founders an 'unfair advantage' by combining the best ideas, operational playbooks, and flexible funding to build the largest and fastest-growing companies possible.
