Co-founded by Ukrainians, Danish nanotechnology research startup ATLANT 3D has secured $15 million in a Series A+ funding round led by West Hill Capital to accelerate market expansion.
- Established in 2018 by Dr. Maksym Plakhotnyuk, Ivan Kundrata, and Prof. Dr. Julien Bachmann, ATLANT 3D specializes in atomic-scale manufacturing. It uses its proprietary Direct Atomic Layer Processing (DALP®) technology to create advanced materials and devices with unmatched precision.
- The company enables the development of complex structures for microelectronics, semiconductors, quantum computing, aerospace, and more by building materials atom by atom.
- As the startup reports, this approach eliminates traditional multi-step fabrication processes, reducing material waste by 90% and significantly speeding up the development cycle.
"The demand we’re seeing from R&D, quantum computing, aerospace, automotive, communication, and semiconductor markets shows we’re solving a critical need and we are actively seeking partners who want to speed up their research cycles, develop previously impossible devices, and build the next generation of smart glasses, quantum computers, AI chips, and space-ready materials and devices," founder and CEO, Dr. Maksym Plakhotnyuk, commented.
Details of the deal
- West Hill Capital led the Series A+ round. The London-based firm invests up to £30 million in innovative tech businesses and offers EIS and SEIS tax benefits. It has raised around £400 million and supported fast-growing tech companies in Europe.
"Our continued investment in ATLANT 3D across both the A and A+ rounds. The team has an unwavering commitment to disruptive innovation and strategic execution, and we believe ATLANT 3D is uniquely positioned to capture significant market opportunities in the semiconductor and advanced manufacturing sectors," claims Alan Richards, Partner and co-founder, West Hill Capital.
- ATLANT 3D will use the new funding to expand its technology, grow its partnerships, and strengthen its sales and marketing teams. To drive growth, the startup will also focus on making its atomic-scale manufacturing technology available to more labs, speeding up innovation and adoption.
