Anthony Atlas

Fund Manager

I’m a Science Fair Winner. I won 1st at ISEF in 2004. That competition changed the trajectory of my life — and I’ve spent 20 years watching it do the same for others. I’ve been a Grand Awards Judge for multiple years and have deep relationships across the alumni community. This isn’t a thesis I researched — it’s a network I grew up in. I Built the Database. Since 2006, I’ve built a proprietary dataset on this talent pool — 54,785+ verified profiles, company outcomes, and a 20-year reference cohort. It turns a community relationship into a repeatable sourcing and diligence system. I Can Help Them Win. Raised >$75M in venture capital as an operator. Supported 3 deep-tech companies through ~10× valuation step-ups (seed → Series B). I know what early founders need because I’ve been in the room.
