“Even before our first round of financing, Atlas was extremely helpful in critiquing our initial business model and advising us on market and financing strategies. Since then, our firm has benefited immensely from the Atlas connection. In addition to the ongoing support and engagement of our Atlas director, we’ve had access to the networks of several Atlas partners for hiring and business development opportunities.”
