Unlocking the Power of the Private Lower Market.
Who We Are
The name Atomus embodies our commitment to fostering strong, trustworthy partnerships that create lasting value for all stakeholders. Just as atoms symbolize unity and integrity through their indivisible sub-particles, AEP unites founders, managers, and employees with valuable resources and a network of professionals, where each member’s unique expertise strengthens the whole, creating an empowering ecosystem dedicated to building best-in-class companies.
We bring the strategic resources of large investment and consulting firms, without the corner office approach, while taking a hands-on, people-focused approach, grounded in humility, accountability, and collaboration. We define winning as creating lasting value for employees, management, communities, and shareholders.
Our Approach
Investment Partnerships
We invest in sectors with strong market dynamics, built-in barriers to entry, and fragmented industries undergoing early-stage consolidation, targeting businesses led by driven leadership and cohesive cultures where sustained growth and attractive investment themes provide opportunities to build durable, long-term platforms through our expertise, resources, and capabilities.
Strategic Consulting and Advisory
We provide strategic consulting services that support small businesses in achieving sustainable growth. With expertise across operations, finance, marketing, sales, and other key functions, we enable businesses to reach their full potential at any stage of development. Our approach mirrors our work with portfolio companies, offering not only a proven playbook and the resources to execute it but also hands-on involvement, becoming an integrated part of the business team.
Our Partnership Framework
We partner with companies where we identify significant opportunities that align with our expertise and experience. Our value creation framework starts with people, fostering trusted relationships with ownership and management teams as the foundation for collaborative success. This creates a symbiotic partnership, blending management’s knowledge with AEP’s experience, resources, and unique ecosystem to develop and implement a realistic, sustainable value creation plan.

Our Core Principles
Integrity
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of honesty, ethical conduct, transparency, reliability, and consistency and will always do what is right, not what is easy.
Curiosity
We embrace curiosity and are not afraid to explore, question, and wonder, to learn and develop, and constantly improve ourselves and our perspectives.
Loyalty
We believe that loyalty is black and white. There is no gray area. We stay loyal to ourselves and our community, not needs or circumstances, no matter what.
Collaboration
Our individual commitment is to the team, as we believe progress can only be sustainable through many, and success is only achievable through teamwork.
