THE ATOMIQ METHOD

The What:

ATOMIQ acquires and transforms established, profitable businesses by integrating our cutting-edge AI and web3 technologies—developed through our venture studio and powered by our open-source nBrain enterprise AI agent platform. We partner with ambitious, accomplished mid-career entrepreneurs to revitalize these acquisitions, while simultaneously creating meaningful succession paths for retiring business owners.

ATOMIQ engineers a powerful technology ecosystem, blending cutting—edge Web3 and AI capabilities. Then, it strategically partners with or acquires stable, cash-flowing SMBs and visionary personal brands. We transform these operations with our proprietary nBrain AI platform and Web3 protocol I.P., unlocking unprecedented growth trajectories.
Our partners gain exclusive access through carefully curated invitations to the ATOMIQ Capital and ATOMIQ Network communities, creating a symbiotic ecosystem that generates proprietary deal flow and mutual value. Through our Sketch to Growth in-house shared services model, we systematically de-risk and validate new technologies before deployment.

We leverage our integrated expertise in technology R&D, strategic planning, operations optimization, M&A execution, and financial engineering.

We run a phased-gating approach through our integrated operating units. In addition, through our ATOMIQ Capital Search Funds we acquire RIA client books and SMBs that we can own through our ATOMIQ C.O.R.E. criteria, and use our studio resources and technologies to scale into dominant niche operations in their market

The Why:

At the ATOMIQ (DNA) LEVEL we are fun-loving, scrappy builders who love the game but play a little pissed off and have an unquenchable desire to create value and punch above our weight guided by these beliefs and values.

  • At ATOMIQ, we believe that our biggest global challenges and opportunities lie ahead of us as humanity navigates exponential change between 2024 and 2034.

  • We believe if you want a seat at the table, you need to bring the table and arrange the chairs.

  • We harness technology while embracing our shared humanity and building more human businesses, with the customer at the center of all decision-making.

  • We disrupt the status quo and are the new establishment.

The How:

Our 20 Mile March:

We identify, attract, and maintain 150 ATOM!Q Network business owners and proven operator executives through our network of RIAs each year 2024-2034, that are open to selling their business or running one of our acquisitions.

Our Hedgehog: ATOMIQ Network access gate sorts for proprietary deal flow with proven leaders/visionaries that form into a growth advisory relationship and launch new business unit collaborations or acquisitions at scale on top of our core technology stack.

CORE VALUES:

1) Practice generosity with every interaction.

2) Bring the F@#king Table.

3) The Real Risk Is Doing Nothing!

4) Start with the Human and Harness the Tech.

5) The Obstacle IS the Way.

Our Firm’s Spirit Animal & Mascot

Meet Stratus

Stratus the Gryphon

—a mythical hybrid of lion and eagle—Stratus embodies traits that align perfectly with the layered approach of visionary strategic and operational strengths of our boutique alternative asset management firm as it navigates dynamic markets.

Mythological Symbolism

  1. Dual Nature of Strength and Vision

    • Lion: Represents resilience, courage, and dominance in challenging environments—mirroring the firm’s ability to deliver returns despite economic volatility.

    • Eagle: Embodies sharp vision, agility, and strategic foresight—reflecting the firm’s proactive investment strategies and adaptability to market shifts.

  2. Guardianship and Protection
    In mythology, Gryphons often guard treasure. This aligns with the firm’s role in safeguarding investor capital while pursuing growth opportunities, emphasizing trust and stewardship.

Operational and Strategic Alignment

  1. Integrated Expertise
    Our investment model combines investment professionals and AI with operating partners and functional specialists (e.g., human capital, IT, etc.) to drive value creation. Stratus’ hybrid nature mirrors this collaborative, multidisciplinary approach, ensuring both strategic insight and hands-on execution with no fear of fighting his own battles until they are won.

  2. Proactive Value Creation
    The firm’s focus on sector-specific playbooks and board-level relationships parallels the Gryphon’s reputation as a hunter and protector—always prepared to act decisively. This proactive mindset is critical in volatile markets where opportunities emerge rapidly.

  3. Adaptability in Uncertainty
    Stratus’s eagle-like agility reflects its ability to pivot strategies in response to economic shifts, such as diverging monetary policies or inflationary pressures. Its lion-like stability underscores its consistent performance through cycles and its instinct to rule its domain.

Cultural and Brand Resonance

  • Rarity and Distinction: The Gryphon’s mythological scarcity symbolizes the firm’s unique value proposition in alternatives, where differentiation is key.

  • Leadership and Partnership: As a symbol of guardianship, it reinforces the firm’s commitment to collaborative partnerships with management teams and investors.

By embodying the Gryphon’s duality of strength and vision, Stratus encapsulates the firm’s ability to navigate complexity with a layered approach, protecting assets, and delivering explosive returns in an ever-changing landscape.
