Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
Quantonation is the world's first and largest venture capital fund exclusively dedicated to quantum technologies and deep physics. The firm's founding premise is that physics is the underlying basis for the next wave of industry transformation across energy, transportation, finance, healthcare, and aerospace. It invests globally from pre-seed through Series A — with selective Series B follow-on — in quantum computing, quantum networking, quantum sensing, post-quantum cryptography, advanced materials, and broader deep-physics domains, frequently acting as the first institutional check into PhD-founder teams spinning out of national labs and universities. With Fund II (€220M), Quantonation has expanded its mandate beyond quantum hardware pioneers toward utility, scale, and industrialisation: demonstrating practical quantum advantage, building robust products, and investing in the interlocking stack of hardware, software, supply chains, and industrial demand. The firm operates dual headquarters in Paris and New York/Dallas, invests across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, and co-creates companies through quantum startup studios in Québec, Italy, and beyond.
Notable quotes
“Quantum has spent decades being described as five years away. That wasn't a failure of physics, but of ecosystems. What's changed is alignment: hardware, software, supply chains, and industrial demand. Quantum is no longer a race to build one machine. It's an interlocking stack, and that's where durable value now sits.”
“With Quantonation I, our mission was to back the pioneers. These were the teams turning quantum physics into working machines, and to help the first leaders emerge. With Quantonation II, the focus shifts to utility and scale: demonstrating practical advantage, building robust products, and preparing for industrialisation.”
“Physics has been a powerful engine for civilizational progress. Our oversubscribed new fund adds fuel to that engine. We're backing founders and teams building world-changing companies rooted in better physics and driving the next industrial revolutions.”
