About AtomBeam Technologies

AtomBeam Technologies, founded in 2017 by Charles Yeomans and Asghar Riahi, is a software company developing solutions to enhance the efficiency and security of data transmission, particularly for the Internet of Things (IoT) market. The company's genesis stemmed from a novel idea by Riahi, a seasoned technology product specialist, to use machine learning and codebooks for data reduction. He pitched the concept to Yeomans, an experienced entrepreneur with a background in investment banking and executive management, after they met through their sons' Boy Scout troop. Yeomans, a former U.S. Navy intelligence officer with an MBA from Stanford, saw the potential, validated the idea with experts, and took on the CEO role to build the business around the technology.

AtomBeam's core product is Neurpac, a cloud-based, software-only platform that leverages AI to compact data, reducing its size by an average of 75%. This process effectively quadruples the available bandwidth for data transmission without requiring hardware upgrades. Unlike traditional compression, which is ineffective on the small data packets typical of IoT devices, Neurpac's "Data-as-Codewords" technology learns repetitive patterns across thousands of messages and replaces them with shorter codewords, a process that also inherently secures the data. This allows for real-time data transmission with very low latency, making it suitable for industries like telecommunications, defense, healthcare, and smart cities. The company targets large enterprises, government agencies, and industrial organizations, with clients including the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force.

The business model is B2B, with revenue generated through direct sales and reseller agreements. This includes annual fees for servers and volume-based charges depending on the number of connected devices. AtomBeam has secured significant funding, totaling $35 million over five rounds, including a $20 million Series A round in February 2025, largely raised through equity crowdfunding platforms like StartEngine. The company has established strategic partnerships with industry players like Ericsson, Viasat, Nvidia, Intel, and HPE to expand its market reach. AtomBeam also holds a substantial intellectual property portfolio, with over 84 patents issued and more pending, to protect its technology.
