RQT Ventures

RQT Ventures is a Bay Area business catalyst. Our mission is to build a responsible quantum/AI ecosystem that benefits society and our planet. We believe that quantum technology will act as an accellerator for artificial intelligence, and vice versa. AI needs Quantum, and Quantum needs AI. A Stanford University spin-out, our mission is to create a trend-setting and values laden quantum-AI ecosystem that strengthens the Silicon Valley innovation hub. At its core, our venture capital fund bridges the gap between academia and industry, fostering an environment ripe for much needed innovation and economic growth. Operating from the center of the emerging quantum startup scene, RQT Ventures helps galvanize and attract startups and university spin-offs in the quantum/AI and cybersecurity space, as part of the investment community (VCs, angels, incubators, accelerators, banks, funds) and other stakeholders who are part of the ecosystem (hardware/chip manufacturers, cloud, software, networks). Our limited partners (LPs) take on a portfolio approach that aims to optimize maximizing upside, supporting ethical investments to foster positive outcomes for humanity. We invest in uniquely qualified quantum/AI startups that resonate with the mission and thesis of our fund.
