Atlantic is extending the deadline by 7 days and raising the stakes to team up with Slush to turn the science prize into a platform.

Atlantic is the first believer in founders, science and bold ideas. We lead pre-seed rounds across Europe with speed and conviction, backing ambitious founders from day one and supporting them hands-on, especially with fundraising and hiring. As a thesis-driven fund, we have built deep expertise in four technology areas: AI & Compute, Energy & Climate, Industrial & Robotics, and Space & Security. Since 2016, we have partnered with over 150 European founders in their earliest days, including those behind category-defining companies such as Choco, GetYourGuide, Wandelbots, Softr, Harmattan, Again, Synthflow and Mirelo. For us, there is no 'too bold' or 'too early'. Just founders venturing into the unknown.
