"From our start to our reaching profitability, Atlas Venture has always supported Actelion's vision of pursuing excellence in medical innovation, clinical development, marketing and sales, even at times when that required significant faith in the outcome of our pipeline. Such attitude, balanced by sound financial judgment, is the best of what founders of biotech companies can expect from their venture-capital backers."
Dr. Jean-Paul Clozel, CEO and Founder
Actelion

Our mission is to help entrepreneurs build market-leading companies

Atlas Venture invests primarily in early stage technology and life sciences businesses in the U.S. and Europe.

We invest more than capital - we also invest our time, expertise, and network in our portfolio companies. Venture capital for us is not just about investing in the "right" companies. It is about partnering with entrepreneurs to make their companies successful.

We bring decades of collective experience transforming new ideas into high-growth global businesses. Since we started in 1980, our Partners have helped build over 350 companies in more than 16 different countries.
