  • Atomic

    Participated · Equity · Aug 2025

    Founded in 2020 by Emma Marriott, Marco Alban-Hidalgo, and David Dindi, Atomic delivers an investing-as-a-service platform that enables fintechs, banks, insurers, and consumer brands to embed investing and wealth-management products directly into their own offerings. Its API and brokerage infrastructure support fractional investing, direct indexing, and global trading, giving partners rapid, compliant market access without building their own brokerages. The technology already powers investing experiences for companies such as NerdWallet, Yieldstreet, and Bluevine. Atomic’s mission is to make wealth-building accessible to every human being. In August 2025 the company secured $30 million in new growth capital, bringing additional resources to accelerate expansion. Management plans to use the proceeds to widen regulatory coverage, broaden the product suite, and deepen global partnerships. Existing investors QED Investors, Anthemis, and Y Combinator returned for this round, underscoring continued confidence in the firm’s trajectory.

  • Hiveclass

    Led · Seed · Feb 2022

    Hiveclass hosts online courses for K-12 students covering fitness, sports, dance, yoga, nutrition, mindfulness and self-defense through short-form videos paired with quizzes. Educators access a teacher portal to view students and quiz answers, and the platform can be used to earn P.E. credits outside of class. Hiveclass markets primarily to public schools and libraries and says it aligns with national standards from SHAPE America. The company partners with more than 80 educational institutions and has over 13,000 students and teachers on the platform. Financially, Hiveclass has generated more than $2 million in revenue and expects an additional $1 million by next month; it is also exploring licensing agreements as an additional revenue stream. Product roadmaps include enhanced teacher-portal features, product development, and new services for students with special needs. Hiveclass is a New York-based mobile platform that provides kids access to original athlete-led training videos across sports including basketball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, dance and self-defense. The platform also offers supplemental content on resilience, confidence building and other wellness topics. Content can be accessed remotely at home, on the field, or elsewhere, and the product includes a social-emotional learning component that fosters community-building within each sport and activity group. The company is led by co-founders Joe Titus (CEO) and Paul Suhr (CPO). Hiveclass is partnering with schools, libraries and other youth-serving institutions to expand access to top-tier sports training and physical education. It plans to use newly raised capital to accelerate growth and expand operations, team and product.
