Over a year ago, we welcomed our first cohort into the Atoms program. A handpicked and diverse range of early-stage founders from companies across SaaS to B2B, and D2C to hardware. These founders were supported with non-dilutive funding, mentorship, and access to the Accel community to build their business.  

Our inaugural Atoms cohort went on to raise a cumulative amount of $60M to support their mission to create category-defining companies and build meaningful relationships across the startup and venture community. Today we're thrilled to welcome our second cohort of promising global startups: Atoms 02

Atoms 02 comprises 10 startups in sectors such as B2B marketplaces, healthtech, SaaS, and developer tools. These 23, early-stage founders come from the United States to Singapore, and India to Australia. 

As before, we offered each of these startups $250K of non-dilutive funding as experimental capital to build their business, and paired them with experienced founders and operators across the Accel network.

Selected from thousands of submissions, Atoms 02 brings together startups from distinct sectors that we believe are poised to build category-defining companies.We’re excited to introduce you to them!
