As announced today, Quint Computing has raised €9.1 million in its first funding round. Vsquared Ventures led the round. Quantonation, Nucleus Capital, Faber, Vanagon Ventures and ZOHO.VC also invested, along with industry experts including Prof. Mikko Möttönen, founder of IQM and QMill. Quint has also been awarded a €2.2 million Pathfinder grant by the European Innovation Council (EIC).
Quint was founded in October 2025 by quantum physicists Prof. Michael Hartmann and Prof. Christopher Eichler and economist Dr. Jona Stinner. It is a spin-off from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and part of the Munich Quantum Valley ecosystem. The Erlangen-based start-up is working on one of the central challenges in the field: quantum error correction. Its patented superconducting chip architecture suppresses a large share of errors directly at the hardware level instead of correcting them afterwards with complex algorithms. Once fully implemented, the approach is expected to reduce hardware overhead, complexity and energy consumption by a factor of 100 while keeping computation fast.
Bavarian State Minister for Science and the Arts, Markus Blume, congratulates the team: “Bavaria is a quantum pioneer, from research all the way to application! FAU researchers taking the step from the lab to the market with Quint Computing and raising €9.1 million to do so is a tremendous success for our innovation hub. This is exactly the kind of transfer we need: excellent science, bold founders and technologies that find their way into industrial practice. We are convinced that quantum computing is far more than a new generation of computing – it marks a historic turning point. With the Hightech Agenda Bayern and the Munich Quantum Valley, in which FAU joins forces with other research institutions and partners, we have a strong foundation. Our ambition is clear: we will continue to expand Bavaria’s leading international position and turn scientific breakthroughs into technological successes ‘Made in Bavaria’!”
The funding will help Quint grow its research and engineering team to around 40 people by 2028, advance its quantum processor roadmap and pursue its first industrial deployment projects. Quint’s advisory board includes Prof. Florian Marquardt (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light), Dr. Reinhard Ploss (former CEO of Infineon Technologies) and Dr. Markus Hoffmann (formerly Google Quantum AI).
Munich Quantum Valley congratulates the Quint team on this milestone.
