Hello! I work for Atomico, who this article is about. There are some factual errors with this article that need updating. Thank you for your attention.
In the first sentence of the article, it says that Atomico has offices in Beijing, Istanbul, São Paulo, Stockholm and Tokyo. We do not have these offices. Our website lists our sole address in London.
[1]
Yann De Vries no longer works at Atomico. His name should be removed from the first paragraph. You can confirm that he is no longer working at Atomico in media articles like the following
[2]
Should remove the line "focuses on new consumer technologies that have the potential to transform markets" in the first paragraph of the focus section. Atomico does not only invest in consumer technologies as evidenced by our portfolio on our website. You can check this on the list of our portfolio companies
[3]
In the section "history and investments" the first sentence needs to be updated because it is factually incorrect. We have invested in more than 100 companies
[4] on four continents - Asia, Europe, South America, and North America -
[5] through four funds.
[6]
The section about Zennstrom visiting university students in the paragraph that begins, "the company publicly states" is no longer factually correct. Zennstrom previously talked frequently to university students, and he no longer does.
The list of portfolio companies is outdated. In the European section, it is missing Bitmovin, Bossa Studios, CloudNC, Framer, GoEuro, Graphcore, Hinge Heath, Jobandtalent, Mapillary, Messagebird, Oden Technologies, Oh Bibi, OnTruck, Pipedrive, Scandit, and Streetbees. North America is missing Beekeeper, Clutter, Compass, Lime, Masterclass, Memphis Meats, and Stripe. South America is missing Gympass. Asia is missing SmartNews. All these companies can be confirmed on our website

Hello, I would like to declare a conflict of interest. I work for Atomico and I am here to correct some factual errors in this article. I have no intention of changing the language, only the information that is incorrect. I will post a draft below with a request for a review shortly. Thank you.
{{
connected contributor (paid)}} I am here reinforcing my COI by declaring that I am a paid connected contributor for Atomico. Again, just for total clarity, I am just editing the incorrect information in this article. I hope this COI has now been correctly made. Thank you!

Not done for now: It seems like you would like to get the History and investments section updated. Unfortuntely, the cited sources are not considered reliable on Wikipedia. Please cite proper sources and go ahead. Please also consider improving this article's poor referencing situation. Best regards, --

Hi Johannes,
I've added citations in the following sections:
Hisory and investments
I have now added citations for all Atomico's funds (1-5) from crunchbase. I have also added an additional citation for Atomico's exit in Truecaller
Investments
I have provided citations from verified news outlets for all the investments that were not previously on the page.
It has invested in more than 130 companies across the globe via 5 funds: the $73 million Atomico I, the $165 million Atomico II, the $476 million Atomico III, the $765 million Atomico IV, and most recently Atomico V, which closed at $820 million in 2020.[1][2][3][4][5]
The company has been involved with over 20 exits or substantial transactions.[6] These include companies such as Supercell (sold a majority stake to
SoftBank, valuing the business at $3 billion in 2013),
The Climate Corporation (acquired by
Monsanto for $1.1 billion in 2013),
Xobni (acquired by
Yahoo! in 2013),
PowerReviews (acquired by
Bazaarvoice in 2012) and
Rovio's $1 billion IPO in September 2017.[7] In 2022, Atomico sold its shares in the publicly listed
Truecaller. [8][9]
