Israeli venture capital firm Qbeat Ventures, founded by Dorit Dor and Maya Netser, has announced a first close of $20 million for its quantum-focused investment vehicle positioning itself as Israel’s first VC fund dedicated exclusively to quantum computing startups. The initial capital will support investments in early-stage quantum hardware and software companies as the fund progresses toward a $100 million target. The seed financing has already been deployed into four innovative quantum tech companies, reflecting Qbeat’s mission to back founders building foundational technologies across the quantum stack. Among the portfolio names are Quantum Art an Israeli quantum computing firm that raised a $100 million Series A last year as well as QuamCore, which develops quantum hardware architectures; Orange Quantum Systems, a Dutch test and measurement solutions provider for quantum chips; and QIZ Security, a U.S.-based company focusing on quantum-resistant encryption. Qbeat was co-founded by Dr. Dorit Dor, former chief technology officer of cybersecurity giant Check Point, and Maya Netser, an experienced investor and former partner at the HFN law firm. The fund’s early investment activity together with the involvement of renowned tech backers underscores growing momentum around quantum computing as a strategic tech sector. Quantum technologies drew an estimated $5 billion in global investment in 2025, with significant government R&D commitments also fuelling ecosystem growth. #QuantumComputing #VentureCapital #QbeatVentures #TechInvesting #DeepTech #QuantumStartups #IsraelTech #AI #Cybersecurity #Encryption #Hardware #Software #Innovation #FundingNews
