β€œI started Atto with nothing but an idea. During the program I built an MVP, grew my customer base to 200+ customers and made my first $10k in transactions. After Atto ended I was accepted into Startmate.”

Hi, I’m Kate πŸ‘‹

Outside of Atto’s weekly sessions with leading startup operators, founders, and mentors – I host regular one-on-one advisory sessions with our companies. I help founders find clarity, test ideas, get stuff done, think ambitiously, become unstuck, connect with the right people, and more. I’ll helpfully nudge you and keep you accountable throughout the program so you can achieve your dreams.

About Atto

Why Atto?

 

Atto is a metric unit system prefix – and a very small one at that, one quintillionth in fact. With the rise of micro VC, equity crowdfunding, and indie capital – tech companies can be built through tiny wins and mindful amounts of investment. This is in contrast to the β€œgrowth at all costs unicorn” Silicon Valley ethos. 🌱

β€œAtto was the best thing I’ve done for my startup.”

 

β€œβ€¦ It challenged and extended me and got the business to a much better place than I could have by myself, all done in a non-intimidating, open and caring way.”

β€” Hilary McCullagh, founder of Coffee Roulette (Atto 2019) β˜•οΈ
