The Deep Tech
Investment Playbook

Insights:

At QAI Ventures, we invest in transformative technologies with early market fit across industries like Industrials, Life Sciences, and Finance. Our focus spans pure Quantum Tech (computing, sensing, communications), solutions at the intersection of Quantum and AI, and advanced computing innovations across the value chain.

We back founders from the earliest stages as well as in the growth stage, connecting them with mentors, corporates, and researchers, and helping them scale from lab to market. Our accelerator-backed fund secures an early seat at the cap table and de-risks investments for our LPs, while our growth fund targets scale-ups already performing in their industries.

Our perspective is clear: successful Deep Tech investing requires patience, conviction, and a global network to turn cutting-edge science into long-term business impact. With offices in Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, and partnerships across academia, corporates, and public-private institutions, we identify early signals of emerging innovation and source the best global deal flow.

In this blog, we share our investment playbook and invite our expert network to contribute their best practices: providing investors, corporates, and founders with actionable insights into evaluating opportunities, de-risking early bets, and scaling Deep Tech ventures at the frontier of Quantum, AI, and Advanced Computing.
