INVESTOR

WE ARE A FINTECH ECOSYSTEM DEVELOPED TO SERVE AS A SOURCE OF STABILITY FOR THE CHALLENGING TIMES AHEAD.

WHY NOW?

The current socioeconomic environment is characterized by an unprecedented proliferation of risks.

We believe these risks threaten to undermine the foundations of stability in the United States of America and around the world.

OUR APPROACH

We are not your typical Investment Manager.

MISSION

Our mission is to mitigate the impacts of ensuing risks by supporting the development of climate resilient communities across North America, while also insulating against inflation and the potential decline in the real value of the US dollar.

JOIN THE ATLAS FAMILY

A growing family of builders and believers.

We build our team around a sufficiently divergent group of individuals that converge together to accomplish something they have decided is bigger than themselves as individuals.

We promote a culture that puts learning, curiosity, and service at the forefront. We invest in our people, because we believe that people do their best work when they are free to be their genuine selves.

THE ATLAS TEAM​

Our expertise comes from our experience in government, technology, hedge funds, blockchain, private equity, venture capital and nation building. This diversity is essential in our ability to think differently and solve some of the world’s most complicated problems.
