Established on December 1, 2014, It was started by three partners, Matthew Bakal (currently co-founder and chairman), Ameesh Paleja (co-founder), and Geoff Shaevitz (co-founder). Paleja says that the idea for Atom Tickets came about because he and his friends, "were frustrated with the experience of coordinating a night out at the movies with friends. Between planning the group and picking the movie, the theater, and the show time, plans often fall apart." On February 1, 2016, they announced a completed Series B round of financing from investors that include
The Walt Disney Company,
20th Century Fox and
Lionsgate. == Services ==
