Haiqu, a quantum software startup building a hardware-aware operating system to improve performance on near-term quantum computers, has raised $11 million in a seed funding round. The capital will be used to accelerate product development, expand the engineering team, and support early enterprise deployments across industries including finance, healthcare, aviation, and life sciences. Haiqu’s technology focuses on making quantum computing more efficient and commercially viable using today’s available hardware. The seed round was led by Primary Venture Partners, with participation from Qudit Investments, Alumni Ventures, Collaborative Fund, Silicon Roundabout Ventures, Toyota Ventures, and Mac Venture Capital. The investors highlighted the growing importance of quantum middleware and operating systems in unlocking near-term value from quantum hardware, emphasizing that software optimization is critical to reducing costs and accelerating real-world quantum adoption. Founded in 2022 by CEO Richard Givhan and Mykola Maksymenko, Haiqu is developing software that bridges the gap between noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices and practical enterprise use cases. The platform focuses on circuit optimization, orchestration, and error-aware execution across multiple quantum architectures, enabling developers to run complex workloads more efficiently and at lower cost. #QuantumComputing, #QuantumSoftware, #SeedFunding, #DeepTech, #StartupNews, #TechInvestment, #VentureCapital, #QuantumTech, #Innovation, #TechStartups
