Bullhound Capital led the Series C financing, which stands as Europe's largest private quantum funding round.
"Globally, it represents a clear shift in the market from long-term promise to near-term delivery in quantum computing. For OQC, this gives us the capital to scale internationally, advance our technology roadmap, and meet increasing demand from customers seeking secure, scalable access to quantum computing infrastructure."
Most rounds here started life as a press release.
Winfred reads them overnight, pulls out the facts, checks them against Companies House and files them. It was built by C8VA, who do the same kind of work for other businesses: turning messy, unstructured material into something you can search, count and rely on.
The funding round was led by PXN Ventures with participation from IQ Capital and Northern Gritstone.
"What I see right now is that the companies that will make a radical difference in this emerging AI-driven future are all AI-native, lean on real world data, have genuine impact, and are fundamentally deep tech. Imperagen has each of those characteristics, combining them with outstanding people, phenomenal technology and the undeniable swagger you only get from Manchester. It was a no-brainer to join the team and lead this next stage in its growth."
The funding round was co-led by DCVC and Kembara with participation from the British Business Bank and Firgun.
"Today's announcement reflects the strength of the team we have built and the progress they have delivered. Quantum computing will only achieve its full potential if it can be built on a platform that scales, and we believe silicon is the strongest route to achieving that. We are pleased to be joined by investors who share our vision and understand what it takes to build a foundational company in this field."
The seed round was led by Paul Graham to support the development of scalable quantum infrastructure.
"With strong investor backing and a leadership team rooted in deep technical and commercial expertise. I am thrilled to be leading QFX delivering quantum hardware which will enable the next generation of quantum systems."
The Bristol startup raised the capital from SCVC, Foresight Venture Capital, and Verve Ventures to scale operations and accelerate sensor deployment.
"Our mission is to harness light to redefine the future of sensing."
