Qnami adds Dmitry Galperin to its Board along with raising CHF4m Series A financing led by Runa Capital and SIT Capital

– SWITZERLAND, Muttenz – Qnami today announced having raised CHF4m in a Series A financing round led by Runa Capital and SIT Capital, further supported by Seed-round investors Quantonation, Verve Ventures, ZKB Start-up Finance, and the High Tech Gründerfond.

Concurrent with the round, Dmitry Galperin, General Partner at Runa Capital is joining the Board.

Dmitry Galperin, General Partner, Runa Capital said, “Quantum technologies leverage the non-intuitive properties of quantum mechanics to develop disruptive applications in fields such as quantum computing, sensing, and communications. The company’s current focus on the microscopy market demonstrates the existing demand and application for this technology. Runa believes the technology will also find additional applications in fields ranging from medical imaging to navigation. Qnami has assembled a strong team that pairs unique technological capabilities with seasoned business and operations experience and has made strides towards establishing its position as a leader in the Quantum sensor market.”

The funds will support the extension of Qnami’s patented quantum microscope technology into applications enabling the design and production of quantum computers and spintronics devices, plus scaling the launch of the Qnami ProteusQ™, the first commercial quantum microscope. Qnami was a Venture Kick winner in 2018 and a Venture Leader Technology and one of the TOP 100 Swiss Startups in 2019.

Qnami is a Swiss startup founded in 2017. In 2019, it launched the Qnami ProteusQ™, the first commercial Scanning NV (Nitrogen-Vacancy) Magnetometer. This tool, which uses Qnami’s patented Quantilever™ diamond scanning probes, provides an innovative platform for analyzing magnetic materials at the nanoscale.

“We have gained good market traction with the launch of the ProteusQ and Quantilevers in the materials research setting. Top researchers already use Qnami’s technology to discover and describe the magnetic properties of new materials,” said co-founder and CEO, Mathieu Munsch.

He added: “Tools to control the design and manufacturing process of such materials at the sub-micron scale are needed to steer product development and improve manufacturing yields,” said Munsch. “With this new investment, we will extend our technology into the cryogenic low-temperature environment, as well as into the spintronics design and manufacturing space, allowing scientists and process engineers to visualize directly the effect of any small change in their design or fabrication process”.
