London-based Qoro Quantum has secured $750,000 in a pre-seed funding round to develop software
infrastructure for hybrid quantum-classical computing. The round includes
backing from Ada Ventures, Superangels Venture Fund, and the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
Founded in 2024,
Qoro Quantum is a deeptech company building software infrastructure for
distributed quantum computing. Its platform provides a unified orchestration
layer that connects classical systems, such as CPUs and GPUs, with emerging
quantum processors, enabling hybrid applications to run across heterogeneous
environments.
As the industry
continues to develop fully functional quantum computers, enterprises are
already combining classical processors with early-stage quantum hardware to
address complex challenges.
However, integrating these systems remains
resource-intensive, often requiring specialised expertise, significant time,
and extensive custom code. Qoro’s software stack simplifies this process by
reducing integration complexity and enabling diverse computing systems to
operate as a unified environment.
While the broader
industry is racing to build physical quantum hardware, we are focused on the
immediate software bottleneck required to actually use those machines,
said
Dan Holme, CEO of Qoro Quantum.
The company’s
platform includes a network stack and cloud-based control system that automates
the execution of quantum algorithms, manages resource allocation, and
synchronises multi-vendor computing clusters. By abstracting hardware
complexity, it allows applications to be built once and deployed across
high-performance and quantum computing environments.
The funding will
support the development of its hybrid quantum-classical software layer, as well
as key engineering hires, grant co-funding, and accelerated product rollout
ahead of its next funding round.
