Novata, a prominent sustainability data management platform tailored for private markets, has acquired Atlas Metrics, a leading European provider of sustainability performance and reporting solutions. This acquisition, announced on October 7, 2025, broadens Novata's international footprint and merges two synergistic platforms to address the escalating need for reliable, streamlined, and expansive sustainability data tools among investors and corporations.
The merger of Novata and Atlas Metrics creates a powerhouse in sustainability data management, uniting Novata's advisory strengths with Atlas Metrics' award-winning technology focused on scalable architecture, user-friendly processes, and AI-powered analytics. Founded in 2021, Atlas Metrics has established itself as a European frontrunner, supporting hundreds of financial institutions and venture firms in simplifying reporting and identifying risks. This integration equips the combined entity to serve a diverse clientele, from banks to corporates, with enhanced tools for ESG compliance and strategic decision-making in a consolidating market.
“This acquisition is an important step toward building the global leader in sustainability management,” said Alex Friedman, CEO & Co-Founder of Novata. “By welcoming Atlas Metrics into the Novata family, we’re delivering on our mission to transform sustainability data into business resilience. Together, we have the scale, technology, and global expertise to help companies and investors turn ESG data management, regulatory readiness, and benchmarking into drivers of long-term value creation.”
As sustainability mandates intensify, organizations prioritize partners offering enduring reliability and innovation, making this move a timely consolidation that amplifies Novata's capacity to deliver actionable insights.
To fuel this expansion, Novata secured a fresh funding round led by S&P Global, joined by Hamilton Lane (Nasdaq: HLNE), Motive Ventures, The Ford Foundation, and co-founders Alex Friedman and Josh Green. This investment signals robust confidence in Novata's trajectory, providing the resources to integrate technologies, deepen financial sector ties, and drive product advancements. The capital will support seamless platform unification, ensuring clients benefit from simplified workflows and heightened efficiency in managing non-financial performance metrics.
“From the start, we saw a natural alignment with Novata, both in mission and in culture,” said Wladimir Nikoluk, CEO of Atlas Metrics. “Atlas Metrics has always believed that sustainability management should be simple, scalable, and rooted in technology. Joining Novata lets us deliver on that belief at global scale, giving our clients across and beyond Europe the innovation, efficiency, and trust they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving sustainability landscape.”
With now over 400 clients and coverage of 13,000+ companies worldwide, the partnership unlocks efficiencies in data collection, secure sharing, and advanced analytics, turning regulatory challenges into opportunities for resilience and value.
The integration harmonizes Atlas Metrics' automations and AI capabilities with Novata's established platform, creating an all-in-one solution for measuring, communicating, and amplifying sustainability impact. Clients gain from enhanced benchmarking, risk assessment, and reporting across private markets, supported by teams in New York, London, Berlin, and Singapore. This global-local synergy provides the connectivity and perspective essential for navigating market complexities, from venture capital to corporate ESG strategies.
Novata's acquisition of Atlas Metrics not only consolidates market leadership but also reinforces a commitment to sustainable business practices, empowering stakeholders to harness ESG data for enduring planetary and economic benefits in an era of heightened scrutiny and opportunity.
