Quint Computing raises €9.1m to advance fault-tolerant quantum processors
Vsquared Ventures leads the German startup’s first round as it expands engineering and prepares initial industrial deployments.
Quint Computing has raised €9.1 million in its first funding round, led by Vsquared Ventures. Quantonation, Nucleus Capital, Faber, Vanagon Ventures, ZOHO.VC and quantum computing entrepreneur Mikko Möttönen also backed the Erlangen-based company.
The financing will expand Quint’s research and engineering team, accelerate its quantum processor roadmap and support initial industrial deployment projects. It plans to grow to around 40 employees by 2028.
Bringing error correction into the chip
Quint’s commercial challenge is to make quantum computing useful without the large hardware overhead that error correction can require. Its superconducting chip architecture suppresses errors inside circuit elements, with algorithms handling the remainder.
The company expects that approach to reduce hardware requirements and energy use while retaining high computation speeds. Its founders have investigated potential industrial applications with Bosch, BASF and Boehringer Ingelheim.
A separate European research grant
Quint also disclosed a €2.2 million European Innovation Council Pathfinder grant. That award sits alongside the €9.1 million investment round.
Founded in October 2025 by Christopher Eichler, Michael Hartmann and Jona Stinner, Quint combines university research with a plan to build and deploy industrial quantum processors.
