Investment thesis

• Quantum computing hardware platforms are advancing rapidly and the era of commercially available quantum computing is rapidly approaching
• Riverlane provides the software platform to enable quantum computers to address applications such as quantum simulation and optimisation, making optimal use of the underlying hardware capabilities

“We build ground-breaking software that transforms quantum computers from experimental technology into commercial products. Going deep into the stack, we help hardware partners build better full-stack solutions so they can focus on the physics. And we work with the chemical, pharmaceutical and materials industries to improve algorithms and specify early killer applications of quantum computers.”
