planqc raises €50 million Series A to take on global competitors with their “Made in Germany” quantum computers. The European leader in digital atom-based quantum computing, founded in 2022 by scientists from Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and LMU Munich – Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, has successfully scaled the number of neutral atoms utilized as qubits to 1,200. Reaching this industry milestone in qubit numbers paves the way for fault-tolerant – and practically useful - quantum computers. Scaling to 10,000 or even 100,000 qubits is expected in the next couple of years - making it possible to tackle previously unsolvable problems. Rick (Jingchun) Hao Hao, Partner with our Deep Tech team, says, “Quantum computing will impact a variety of industries and we believe that neutral atoms are a more promising way to scale quantum computers. Planqc's unique technology has the potential to leapfrog the quantum competition. We are very pleased to continue supporting the Planqc team in this crucial phase of building a global market leader.” Speedinvest continues supporting founders Alexander Glätzle, Sebastian Blatt, and Johannes Zeiher alongside lead investors CATRON Holding and the DTCF | DeepTech & Climate Fonds, with participation from Bayern Kapital, the Max-Planck Foundation, UVC Partners, private investors, and a non-dilutive grant from Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany.

Even Great Things Come to an End: General Partner Mathias O. is Leaving Speedinvest After Seven Successful Years A personal message from our CEO & Managing Partner Oliver Holle ⬇️ After seven very intensive, successful, and exciting years, the Speedinvest partnership is changing. Mathias Ockenfels, General Partner leading our Marketplaces & Consumer investment team, has decided to embark on a new professional chapter. During Mathias’ tenure, Speedinvest has grown substantially, becoming one of Europe’s leading early-stage venture capital funds. Mathias’ incredible network, passion for venture capital and marketplace startups, and a keen eye for spotting winning companies from day one have played a decisive role in that growth and success. ⦾ Mathias set up our Berlin office in 2017, which has grown to 15 employees; ⦾ Under his leadership, our Marketplaces & Consumer investment team was established in Berlin and quickly expanded to Munich & London; ⦾ Mathias led the establishment of two dedicated funds for digital marketplace models at Speedinvest, raising more than €100M in capital and investing in more than 70 portfolio companies, which have gone on to raise billions in follow-on capital; ⦾ He’s led multiple successful investments at Speedinvest, including TIER Mobility, CoachHub - The digital coaching platform, Schüttflix, and Planetly; ⦾ and he and his team created the now highly successful The Marketplace Conference – a leading event in the European start-up ecosystem held annually in Berlin. On behalf of the entire team, I would like to personally thank Mathias for his extraordinary and immeasurable contributions to building and establishing Speedinvest. Without him, we would not be the VC we are today, and we are especially grateful for the role he played in establishing our now widely respected and successful vertically-focused investment model. His vision and leadership have been instrumental in our achievements, and we are committed to building upon the strong foundation he helped establish. After seven years, however, change is inevitable, and we respect Mathias' decision to take a short break for his growing family and to pursue new challenges in the future. But he won’t be leaving us just yet! While Mathias decided not to participate as a General Partner in our next generation of funds, I am pleased to share that he will continue to use his expertise to support his portfolio companies and marketplace funds after a well-deserved short paternity leave. In closing, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge that, for Speedinvest, this change represents a new chapter for us. We have achieved an enormous amount together with Mathias, and for that, we are proud and above all grateful. Be assured that the entire Speedinvest team remains fully committed to ensuring the continued success of our funds and portfolio companies. Our partnership may be changing but our bold vision for the future of Speedinvest never will 🚀
