Key people at Atman Capital.
Atman Capital is a venture capital firm that provides funding and strategic support to private companies, operating from an undisclosed headquarters location. The organization operates under a traditional venture capital business model, raising capital from limited partners to invest in early and growth stage startup enterprises across various undisclosed sectors. While specific financial metrics such as total assets under management, fund sizes, and the exact number of investment professionals on staff are not publicly available, the firm generates revenue through standard management fees and carried interest based on fund performance. Information regarding their specific target markets, core investment thesis, and recognizable portfolio companies or lead institutional investors remains strictly confidential at the present time. The exact founding year and the identities of the original founders of Atman Capital are currently undisclosed in standard public databases.
Atman Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests primarily in pre-seed and seed-stage startups across the U.S. and Latin America. Its mission centers on providing leverage, access, and strategic support to founders through a tightly knit community called the "Egregore," which aligns investors and founders with shared values and skin in the game. The firm targets startups that operate with the discipline and mindset of Series A companies, emphasizing mindful cash management and transparent communication with investors. Key sectors include fintech, SaaS, and technology-driven startups bridging the U.S. and Latin American markets. Atman Capital impacts the startup ecosystem by fostering cross-border collaboration and offering founders not only capital but also professional support and accountability within its community[1][2][4].
Founded in 2021 by Brazilian-born Pedro Sorrentino and Pedro Dias, Atman Capital emerged from their combined experience in venture capital and finance. Sorrentino previously founded OneVC, another cross-border firm, before focusing on Atman, while Dias brings experience from JP Morgan and Riskified. The firm was created to address the challenges startups face in a tightening capital market by backing early-stage companies that are ready to scale responsibly. The founders also built a network of over 20 founder limited partners (LPs) from both Latin America and the U.S., creating a collective that shares principles and actively participates in sourcing and supporting investments. This community-driven approach is a defining feature of Atman’s evolution[1][5].
Atman Capital rides the trend of increasing cross-border venture capital activity, particularly between the U.S. and Latin America, regions experiencing growing startup ecosystems and digital transformation. The timing is critical as capital markets tighten globally, making Atman’s focus on disciplined, founder-aligned early-stage investing especially relevant. By fostering a community of founder LPs and emphasizing operational maturity early, Atman influences the ecosystem by promoting sustainable growth practices and bridging innovation across geographies. This approach supports the maturation of Latin American startups and their integration into global markets, while also providing U.S. startups access to emerging LatAm opportunities[1][2].
Looking ahead, Atman Capital is poised to expand its fund size beyond the initial $9 million close toward its $30 million target, deepening its impact in early-stage cross-border investing. Trends such as increased fintech adoption, AI integration, and digital banking in Latin America will likely shape its portfolio focus. The firm’s community-driven model may further evolve, potentially increasing founder LP participation and operational support offerings. As capital markets remain challenging, Atman’s emphasis on founder discipline and aligned incentives positions it well to support startups that can navigate tougher fundraising environments and scale sustainably[1][3][4]. This collective, principle-driven approach may set a new standard for early-stage venture capital in cross-border contexts.
