Atomic Object Selected as Finalist for 2026 NC TECH Awards

RALEIGH, N.C., Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Atomic Object has been selected as a finalist for the NC Tech Awards Software Solutions award. The NC TECH Awards is North Carolina's only statewide technology awards program that recognizes innovation, growth and leadership in the tech sector and is presented by the NC TECH (North Carolina Technology Association). Winners will be announced November 16 at the Sheraton in Durham.

Since entering the Raleigh market in 2022, Atomic Object has been recognized as one of the area's top software development partners. The finalist nod reflects the trust the Raleigh team has built with Triangle startups and enterprise clients. That momentum led the office to move from a coworking space into a 6,000-square-foot suite in downtown Raleigh in 2025.

The majority female Raleigh office is led by Managing Partners, Taylor Vanden Hoek and Ryan Abel. Vanden Hoek and Abel have partnered with the Downtown Raleigh Alliance, Digital Health Institute for Transformation, and Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering.

"For over 20 years, NC TECH has celebrated companies, organizations and individuals for outstanding achievement at the NC TECH Awards. As a finalist this year, Atomic Object has distinguished itself as one of the state's innovative and emergent leaders," stated Michelle Calton, NC TECH's Interim CEO.

"When we opened our Raleigh office in 2022, we knew earning a place in this community would take time. Being named an NC TECH Awards finalist tells us Atomic Object has put down real roots in the Triangle, and we're proud of the team and the clients who helped us get here," said Taylor Vanden Hoek, Managing Partner of Atomic Object Raleigh.
