We don't just invest in entrepreneurs. We partner with them.

Since 1980 Atlas Venture has invested at the earliest stages in technology and life sciences innovation. We've helped build more than 350 companies in 16 countries; and taken more than 50 companies public.

We partner with the entrepreneurs that challenge conventional thinking and solve the hard problems. We invest in innovation that has the potential to change the structure of markets. We value businesses that define agility, scalability and defensibility.

“Through Atlas Venture's leading role in genomics, we've been able to contact potential business partners at a level that simply would not have been possible otherwise. Atlas Venture has also been extremely helpful in working with us to recruit a key member of the scientific team and to plan and execute a completely novel patent strategy.”
