About the company
Quantonation is the first venture capital fund in the world dedicated to quantum technologies and deep physics,with a focus on Seed-stage opportunities across Europe, North America, and Asia.
The team brings a strong combination of scientific and entrepreneurial expertise, with a track record of backing category-defining quantum companies from inception. Quantonation’s approach combines rigorous technical due diligence with hands-on support for early-stage teams, and the fund is backed by a global network of scientific advisors,corporate partners, and institutional investors.
Quantonation’s portfolio spans across hardware, middleware, software and enabling technologies globally, all centred around the fund’s thesis that foundational advances in quantum science will unlock transformational applications across computing, chemistry, and materials.
Quantonation typically invests €0.5m to €2m in early-stage rounds, often as lead investor, and follows-on until Series B. This allows PFP to build relationships early and consider follow-on investment as these companies mature into their growth stages.
Planet First’s Support and Vision
Planet First Partners has invested in Quantonation’s Funds I and II as a strategic ecosystem investment:
- Given the highly specialised nature of quantum technologies, Quantonation’s strong technical and commercial leadership, anchored by its scientific committee chaired by Nobel Laureate Alain Aspect, offers Planet First Partners privileged access to cutting-edge developments within the quantum ecosystem
- Quantonation’s investment focus at the Seed-stage complements Planet First Partners’ later-stage growth strategy, creating a natural intersection for future follow-on investments
- In parallel, Planet First Partners is actively collaborating with Quantonation to promote alignment on sustainability practices, with the shared goal of maximising long-term substantial and positive impact across the portfolio
