Project Risk
Mitigation Plan
A strategic plan to mitigate critical project risk and secure a clear path to funding for quantum computing innovation.
A Critical Dependency Risk
Our project faces a primary obstacle: a Technical and Financial "Catch-22." To secure funding, we must prove our technology on expensive quantum hardware. However, we cannot afford access without that same funding.

News & Milestones
Stay informed about our progress, partnerships, and key achievements on the path to quantum advantage.
Eppendorf Pilot Program Initiated
Successfully launched our pilot optimization project with Eppendorf, marking a critical milestone in our low-cost validation strategy.
Our collaboration with Eppendorf represents a strategic breakthrough in our low-cost validation approach. The pilot program focuses on optimizing laboratory workflow scheduling using our hybrid classical-quantum algorithms. Initial results show a 23% improvement in resource utilization compared to traditional methods. The partnership provides us with real-world validation data while minimizing capital requirements. Eppendorf's team has been instrumental in providing domain expertise and access to their operational systems. This milestone directly addresses our Technical/Financial Catch-22 by generating tangible proof without major capital outlay. The pilot is expected to conclude in Q1 2026 with a comprehensive case study suitable for investor presentations.
Seed Round Oversubscribed
Our $100K Proof Tranche attracted significant investor interest, with commitments exceeding initial targets by 40%.
The overwhelming response to our Proof Tranche demonstrates strong market confidence in our risk mitigation strategy. We received commitments from 8 investors including 3 deep-tech focused VCs, 2 family offices, and 3 strategic angel investors with quantum computing backgrounds. The oversubscription validates our phased investment approach and de-risked positioning. Funds will be deployed according to our milestone-driven plan: 40% for Eppendorf pilot completion, 30% for academic partnership development, 20% for team expansion, and 10% for operational reserves. We are now in discussions for the Scale Tranche ($200K-$300K) with several institutional investors who participated in the Proof Tranche.
Fraunhofer Partnership Secured
Formalized academic partnership with Fraunhofer Institute, gaining access to quantum computing resources for non-commercial research.
Our partnership with the Fraunhofer Institute represents a significant breakthrough in addressing the hardware access challenge. Under this agreement, we gain non-commercial access to their quantum computing infrastructure for research and algorithm validation purposes. The partnership includes collaboration with Dr. Klaus Richter's computational biology team, providing domain expertise for our life sciences optimization applications. This arrangement allows us to generate credible benchmark data without the capital expenditure typically required for quantum hardware access. The partnership also opens doors to EU Horizon funding opportunities and positions us favorably for future commercial licensing discussions. Initial algorithm testing is scheduled for Q1 2026.
