Quantacet

Quantacet is the first and only venture capital fund based in Quebec focusing exclusively on the global quantum technology market. The firm invests early in ambitious quantum startups that aim to tackle significant global challenges, including personalized medicine, energy crises, and cybersecurity. Quantacet was established to bridge the funding gap at the earliest stages, where technology development is crucial but often considered high-risk by non-specialized investors. By supporting these startups, Quantacet contributes to bringing revolutionary research to market and bolstering Quebec's quantum industry.

The firm concentrates on pre-seed and seed-stage companies that demonstrate a clear growth trajectory in the global market. Its investment focus encompasses quantum sensing, quantum communications, quantum computing, and enabling technologies. Quantacet's extensive network within the local and global quantum community provides a comprehensive range of resources to foster business growth. The team specializes in assisting startups in their growth and successful commercialization, leveraging years of experience in coaching entrepreneurs and managing startup incubators.

Quantacet's portfolio includes companies like Femtum, Nord Quantique, and Phantom Photonics. In January 2024, the firm led a $3 million seed round for Femtum, a Quebec-based company specializing in manufacturing and laser technologies. Additionally, in April 2025, Quantacet, along with QV Studio and Quantonation, invested in Quminex, a Canadian tech startup revolutionizing mineral exploration through AI and quantum computing. These investments underscore Quantacet's commitment to supporting innovative quantum technology ventures with high growth potential.
