About Atlantic Labs

Atlantic Labs is a European first-round investor, headquartered in Berlin. We believe entrepreneurs shape the future and work hard to support ambitious founders throughout their entire entrepreneurial journey. Emerging technologies excite us as much as startups tackling social challenges. Recent investments have focused on decarbonisation, artificial intelligence, and industrial automation.

Since 2013, we have led over 150 first-round investments – backing category creators such as Soundcloud, GetYourGuide, Clue, Vimcar, Zenjob, Choco, and Wandelbots. We’ve raised three successful funds from top-tier international investors.

Originally established by business angel Christoph Maire, a founder of mapping services unicorn HERE, our team has grown to 20 investors and operators. We work hard to help our founders at all stages with fundraising, talent support, go-to-market, and venture development.
