Hitting Our Stride: Atlas Analytics Continues to Gain Momentum

Atlas Analytics’ Weekly Subscriber Update

From the ballpark to the boardroom: Keri Allen (Atlas Analytics’ first investor), Founder Jake Schneider, and Michael Eggleston (now Atlas Analytics’ first full-time hire) celebrating early wins at Fenway in June 2025

Seven years ago, Atlas Analytics was a moonshot idea in my Harvard dorm room. Today, it’s a full-fledged rocket ship. In the past three months, we’ve welcomed three new investors, hired our first full-time team member, and added two world-class advisors. Now, we’re preparing for a formal venture round this fall and a full product launch in winter 2026.

From Friends & Family to the VC Launchpad

Since May 2025, Atlas Analytics has brought on three additional private investors, bringing our total to four and completing the Friends & Family stage of our journey. Their backgrounds span military service, maritime regulation, and engineering, adding both capital and a wealth of expertise as we bring real-time macroeconomic forecasting from space to market.

We’re thrilled to welcome Michael Eggleston (PhD, Physics, Duke) as our first W-2 hire, leading the build of our next algorithm. Michael’s experience in remote sensing, computer vision, and machine learning includes work at Applied Research Associates, where he utilized satellite imagery for algorithmic 3D modeling.

Joining our advisory board are David Michael (PhD, Computer Vision, MIT; 80+ U.S. patents) to help guide our IP strategy and Peter McKelvey (former President, Americas at L.E.K. Consulting; Wharton MBA) to assist in shaping our business strategy. Together, they’re sharpening our technical and commercial edge.

Eyes on the Next Frontier

This September, we’ll launch our formal venture capital round with the goal of closing by late November. At the same time, we’re preparing to roll out our first consumer market-ready platform to deliver expanded access to unprecedented GDP, trade, and market-timing insights. We’re already piloting our data and trading signals with select clients. If you’re an investor or firm looking for alpha in a volatile market, reach out below.
