What Atomo Coffee does
Atomo Coffee is a Seattle-based food-tech company (Delaware LLC) that manufactures coffee without coffee beans, using a proprietary molecular formulation to recreate the flavor, aroma, and caffeine profile of traditional coffee from plant-based and upcycled ingredients including date pits from the Coachella Valley, carob, chicory root, cassava root, psyllium husk, and green tea caffeine. Founded around 2017, the company has built a portfolio spanning its Prebiotic Coffee line (Medium and Dark roasts at $16.99), French Roast ($9.99), Espresso Grounds including a Decaf variant ($20.99), 50:50 Blends that combine beanless coffee with Arabica, and a Production Blend designed for B2B roasters and coffee companies to blend at 20-50% ratios with upcycled certification eligibility. The product targets health and environmental claims including 2g of prebiotic fiber per cup, up to 50% lower acidity than conventional coffee, 83% fewer carbon emissions, and 70% less farmland usage, validated through HowGood independent research.
The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce (atomocoffee.com), Amazon marketplace sales, and a B2B wholesale program. Commercial partnerships anchor distribution and brand validation: Bluestone Lane serves as the first major US coffee chain partner with 80+ locations, and the company extends internationally through curated café partnerships with Hagen in London and Ash in Tokyo, alongside co-branded collaborations with Salt & Straw (ice cream) and Elmhurst (oat-milk chai). Pricing is set at unit-based pay-as-you-go, with multi-year contract structures implied for wholesale partners; no subscription model is publicly disclosed.
The company is venture capital-backed, having raised approximately $50M+ in primary capital across a $40M Series A in June 2022 led by S2G Ventures with AgFunder and Horizon Ventures, an SEC Form D exempt offering filing in February 2024 targeting ~$62.92M with ~$41.6M already sold, and additional rounds reported in 2023 and 2025. Leadership is composed of founder Andy Kleitsch (CEO) and Jarret Stopforth (Co-founder/CTO). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company falls within the 11-50 employee headcount band consistent with early-stage CPG commercialization.
