This funding allows us to expand our reach, transforming construction at a time when smarter solutions are critical."
The Series C round was led by Planet First Partners to support scaling and technological roadmaps.
"Quantum error correction is the critical enabler for the industry’s next huge wave of progress, from today’s small error-prone machines to large and reliable quantum computers that will start a new age of human progress as significant as the digital revolution."

Amongst our shift-worker customers, 30% of candidates don’t turn up to the job interview in the first place because they can’t get there. Zeelo is playing an important role in improving social mobility and decarbonising transportation. In the past 18 months, employers have realised the importance of it too. Now it’s time to bring this to the masses"
The round was led by Insight Partners with participation from ETF Partners and Simon Murphy.
