FAQs

How much money will Atoms Invest?

We will invest up to $500K in companies. For companies looking to raise more than $500K, we will consider them for Accel investments outside of the Atoms accelerator.

What are the different sectors I can apply for?

Atoms is currently accepting applications for two themes: AI and Industry 5.0. We are kicking off Atoms 3.0 with these two cohorts, but as we scale the program, we also plan on launching other themes.

I want to raise more than $500K. Can I still apply?

If you are raising up to $2M, you can apply to Atoms. For companies looking to raise more than $500K, we will consider them for Accel investments outside of the Atoms accelerator.

What stage should my company be at to apply to Atoms?

We want to support companies that are looking to raise less than $2M. In our past 2 cohorts of Atoms, we have invested across stages, including idea-stage and pre-product companies. We will continue to support companies across stages in Atoms 3.0.
