Peak Quantum Raises €2.2M In Pre-seed Funding For Quantum Chip Development

The investment round was led by Cloudberry Ventures, with additional participation from United Founders, QAI Ventures, Golden Egg Check, and several experienced industry angel investors.

When combined with public funding, including support from the EU Chips Act, the company’s total capital raised now surpasses €5 million.

Founded in 2024 as a spin-off from the Walther-Meißner-Institute (WMI) at the Technical University of Munich Peak Quantum brings together expertise from researchers and seasoned entrepreneurs, spanning chip design, fabrication and system integration.

The company is working on superconducting quantum technologies with a focus on qubits designed for intrinsic error resilience at the hardware level.

Unlike traditional quantum computing approaches that depend heavily on complex software based error correction, Peak Quantum embeds error protection directly into the physical structure of its qubits. This approach aims to simplify system design and accelerate progress toward scalable, practical quantum computing.

A key part of the company’s roadmap is its participation in the planned SUPREME European quantum chip pilot line an initiative under the EU Chips Act aimed at strengthening quantum chip development and manufacturing capabilities in Europe.

Peak Quantum has been chosen to run the facility with operations set to begin in April 2026. The program aims to speed up the development and large scale production of quantum technologies across the region.

The newly raised capital will be directed toward advancing the company’s error-resilient superconducting qubit technology, as well as supporting the setup and launch of the European pilot production line.

The quantum computing industry has focused for too long on scaling the number of qubits. But more qubits do not help if each individual one is unreliable. We are developing processors where error resilience is an intrinsic physical property of the hardware itself, said Leon Koch, CEO of Peak Quantum.
