The Venture Studio for Nature-Tech
Our societies must thrive with nature, not at its expense. That’s why we build new ventures from ideas that work with nature.
Have a breakthrough idea?
We're Designing the Future.
We’re not just reacting to change.
We build on breakthrough ideas that shape what comes next.
From Idea to Scale-Up Company
Working hands-on as co-founders, we team up with researchers, inventors, and entrepreneurial minds to turn ideas into fast-growing ventures that shape what comes next.
We validate the problem–solution fit, develop early customers, build exceptional teams, shape the product, lead go-to-market efforts, and guide the venture toward product–market fit. We bring capital and resources, people and networks, business and strategic insight. And when the venture is ready to scale, we let its core team grow and go beyond us.
Focus Areas
We build ventures from early-stage ideas that work with nature, in sectors where ecological urgency meets commercial opportunity.
Our current focus areas are:
Decarbonization
Solutions that reduce emissions through material, biological, and design innovation, focused on production and nature-based methods.
Zero-Waste
Solutions that eliminate waste across production and consumption, including circular processes, advanced recycling, reuse models, and materials recovery.
Intelligent Systems
Software, sensing, and AI-powered tools that improve decision-making, efficiency, and impact, especially in industries that rely on or lack quality data.

Why We Started Atlan and How We Build Ventures That Matter
We share why we started a nature-aligned venture studio, the problems we’re solving, and how our model brings deep-tech, science-based solutions into the world – faster, stronger, and with real impact.
What Is a Venture Studio and Why the World Needs Them Now
Startups keep failing – not because the ideas are bad, but because the system surrounding them is. Venture studios offer a better model: structured, co-created, and built for scale from the start.
Let's Build What Matters.
We’re always looking for new ideas, research breakthroughs, entrepreneur minds, and mission-aligned investors.
If you believe there’s an immense opportunity in helping nature and society thrive together, we want to hear from you.
