Quantagonia's Journey
Every journey begins with uncertainty, but each milestone brings clarity: we’re steadily advancing towards making optimization accessible to all—not just the experts.
Vision Becomes Reality
After months of iterating and refining ideas, Quantagonia was founded in November 2021 in the Rhein/Main area. The founders united with a shared vision to develop advanced software for quantum computers, driving innovation and helping businesses transition into the quantum era.
Funding Round & Launch
Quantagonia successfully closed its first venture-backed investment round and officially launched. This funding enabled the company to onboard specialists in High Performance Computing and Optimization, driving forward our mission to revolutionize optimization and quantum computing.
HybridSolver 0.1
Quantagonia made HybridSolver 0.1 available, marking an important milestone with its first product innovation just months after the company's launch. This foundational solution in the field of optimization set the stage for further development of the Quantagonia Platform and the significant advancements in optimization that followed. Quantagonia was officially introduced as an IBM partner, further solidifying its position in the industry.
Pre-Seed Funding Round
Quantagonia secured its Pre-Seed Funding Round, raising the total investment to €4.3 million. This crucial funding enabled the company to accelerate its development and expand its team. With this support, Quantagonia advanced its technology and brought new innovations to the Platform, further solidifying its position in the field of optimization.
Breakthroughs in Solver Performance and Optimization Models
While the Solver made significant performance improvements, preparing it for a future launch as a standalone high-performance engine, the team achieved initial breakthroughs in creating a mathematical optimization model using LLMs. In a significant development, Quantagonia was also introduced as the new code owner and maintainer of Qiskit-Optimization and partnered with Strangeworks to provide their customers with our advanced platform.
A Second Location and Final Steps to Product Launch
Quantagonia opened its second office in Munich to expand its strong talent pool and engage with the vibrant startup ecosystem in the city. The development of the platform was completed on schedule for the launch, and the performance of our Solver Engine competed with and outperformed existing market leaders in tests and research.
On the path to revolutionize computing and optimization.
