IT startup Horizon Quantum Computing ups seed round to $4.5m

The fresh funding will be used to launch its quantum software development tools.

Horizon Quantum Computing, a Singapore-based company developing programming tools for quantum computers, has increased its seed financing to $4.5m (US$3.23m) in a seed-plus round led by Sequoia Capital India, a press release revealed.

It was also participated by previous investors SGInnovate, Abies Ventures, DCVC, Qubit Protocol, Summer Capital and Posa CV.

The additional funding will be used to accelerate the launch of its quantum software development tools, to further engage with customers and early adopters and to continue strengthening its team.

Horizon Quantum Computing aims to bridge the gap between quantum computers and conventional software development.

“Quantum computing represents a fundamentally new model of computation, holding great promise as a new approach to tackling hard computational problems. As hardware development continues to advance, learning to harness the power of quantum processors for business applications will become the main barrier to adoption,” said Dr. Joe Fitzsimons, CEO of Horizon Quantum Computing.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
