The Atomic-6 proprietary process has proven the possibility of economically priced domestic production of high-performance composites, with lab testing showing strength and stiffness levels previously thought impossible while demonstrating cure times 20X faster than prepreg composites. Atomic-6 is backed by IronGate, an Aerospace & Defense Venture Capital Firm, and was one of 20 out of 3,000 annually chosen to be accelerated by Starburst, the world's 1st global accelerator for Aerospace & Defense.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Atomic-6 was voted #1 most innovative company in Georgia for 2022 by the Technology Association of Georgia. The company has secured defense contracts and partnerships in high-growth space and aerospace verticals. Strong technology differentiation but limited scale as a 18-person startup constrains near-term revenue impact.
