"it's crazy that there's been no single source of instant employment and income data verification until now. This is especially pressing given the huge variety and volume of companies crying out for this crucial data validation when helping customers take on life's big events; whether it's getting a job, house, credit, or anything in between. We believe there's no one better positioned to build this upstream aggregation platform than Chris and the exceptional team he's assembled at Konfir."
The round was led by Molten Ventures to fund commercialisation ahead of the company's first satellite launch.

Sony Innovation Fund joins the second close of the funding round to support the development of silicon-based quantum computers.
"We are actively exploring investments in technologies that will be transformational with wide ranging applications.

As our first investment in the quantum technologies space, Quantum Motion is already demonstrating tremendous advancement and leadership, and we are excited to help fuel their next stage of growth."
