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.
