SUMMARY

  • Quantonation Ventures, a Paris-based venture firm for quantum and physics-based technologies, has closed its second flagship fund above target at €220 million.

All major investors from Quantonation I have returned for the second fund. Returning limited partners include Vertex Holdings; Fonds National d’Amorçage 2, managed by Bpifrance on behalf of the French State; and Bradley M.

The latest fund, Fund II, invests in the pre-seed and seed rounds of deep physics and quantum tech firms, including companies engaging in molecular design, cybersecurity, and ultra-precise sensing. Quantonation is now the largest quantum fund globally on an AUM basis.

Returning LP investors in the latest fund include Vertex and Fonds National d’Amorçage 2, managed by Bpifrance on behalf of the French State, along with new investors such as the European Investment Fund, Novo Nordisk and Toshiba.

Since its launch in 2018, Quantonation has invested globally in more than 10 countries, backing companies in quantum computing, sensing, supply chains and broader deep-physics domains.

“Quantum has spent decades being described as five years away,” says Christophe Jurczak, Managing Partner at Quantonation. “That wasn’t a failure of physics, but of ecosystems. What’s changed is alignment: hardware, software, supply chains, and industrial demand. Quantum is no longer a race to build one machine. It’s an interlocking stack, and that’s where durable value now sits.”
