The new funding will accelerate Riverlane’s mission to build a high-performance operating system that makes quantum computers useful, sooner.
Riverlane, a quantum software company, today announces that it has raised $20 million in Series A funding to build Deltaflow, its operating system for quantum computers. Over the past year, Riverlane has signed up 20 percent of the world’s quantum hardware manufacturers to use Deltaflow. The company will use the funding to expand internationally, to the US, Europe, and beyond.
The round was led by European technology venture capital fund Draper Esprit and supported by existing investors Cambridge Innovation Capital, Amadeus Capital Partners, and the University of Cambridge.
Quantum computers will change the world by solving problems that are fundamentally impossible to solve on classical computers. This step change in computing power will have an enormous impact on a variety of industries, for example the pharmaceuticals and materials industries. Over the next five years we will continue to see rapid progress in quantum hardware development. As the quantum industry develops, it is vital that software be built on a solid foundation.
Deltaflow, Riverlane’s operating system, creates a thriving quantum ecosystem, giving software developers access to all types of quantum computers at the right level. Providing a shared language for applications and quantum hardware development, Deltaflow is the infrastructure for great engineering and collaboration across the industry.
This new funding follows a £3.25 million seed round completed in June 2019.
