Investment Thesis

ATP believes that scientific innovation and engineering—not software alone—will solve humanity’s greatest challenges. They partner with ‘scientific visionaries’ to develop early-stage ventures addressing grand challenges through a mission-aligned approach. As self-described ‘former founders,’ the team emphasizes strategy-first insights, vital connections, and capital partnerships to catalyze critical growth while lowering inherent risks.

What Sets Them Apart

  • Proprietary 'Proto.n' acceleration program providing hands-on support across Strategy, Expertise, Networks, and Capital
  • Deep relationships across university-anchored markets, national research labs, and strategic corporate partners providing 'privileged deal flow'
  • Focus on severely underutilized university research ecosystems—US 'Freshwater' and Canadian universities receive $58B+ annually yet are 'severely under utilized by traditional venture capital'
  • Emphasis on underrepresented ecosystems and gender-disparity access in early-stage funding
  • Operator-led team providing venture experience and strategic guidance beyond typical capital provision
  • Mission-aligned co-investor network for collaborative due diligence
