Cambridge Innovation Capital and Amadeus Capital Partners led the seed round to support quantum software development.
"This seed funding allows us to accelerate our work at a critical time in the development of quantum computers. Computers are central to the design of many new products, but when we try to model systems at the level of individual atoms, the rules that govern their behaviour are fundamentally different. Even huge supercomputers are limited to approximations. As a result the design of new drugs and materials remains primarily a laboratory, rather than a computational, exercise. Riverlane’s software aims to unleash the huge potential of quantum computers."
The funding round includes backing from a Henley Business Angels member.
"We are extremely grateful for the support from Henley Business Angels at this stage of our development. The potential market for our QRNG technology could be trillions of connected devices given the need for portable, cost efficient, fast and robust hardware security that does not currently exist in the market today. This need will only become more pronounced with the emergence of 5G and further proliferation of IoT connected devices – driven by what we call the need for hardware security by default."
